    Simple Auto Backup Software - Suggest one?

    Can anyone suggest an auto backup program. I have looked at Scheduled Task but I don't think it is possible there. I searched around there. Anyone have a suggestion?

    Acronis True Image is about as simple as you can get. Though, it isn't freeware.

    I did the Windows 7 Backup and Restore backup for pictures, music and documents but it made 20 folders for this. I tried this program on a new computer with one document and four pictures and it made these 20 folders total with some of them zipped folders. This to me is a little too much for one document and 4 pictures dontcha think? Stupid.

    For just backing up data files, you could use Microsoft's SyncToy, or SyncBack from 2BrightSparks.
