A Backup Software that keeps the same format.

[OneNessWithIn]

I’m wanting a backup program that will do automatic timed backups and then after do incremental backups from my main computer to a network hard drive while keeping the same format on the network drive as on my main computer so I can access these copied files from other computers. Seems like many of the popular “Backup Programs” only back up to their own formatted files so you have to have their program on all computers to see the files that were backed up.

I have called and emailed many so far with little success, searched here but didn't see the same question. I do not need it to be a free program, if it will do what I want I can pay.

Sounds like you want two different programs, sync and backup. Synctoy can sync your files to the network drive "as is".

Backup apps use compression, which is why there are "proprietary" formats.

Downloaded Synctoy, will give it a try, thanks for the input.
