Back up files
My back up scheme is this. I synchronize my laptop to my desktop and
then make up the desktop to an external drive. I had been using the Seagate Backup manager on the Desktop which was Windows XP. But the Seagate Backup Manager will not work on Windows 8.1 Could someone make some suggestions on back up software. Criteria: --Free if possible. --Maintains at least two levels of previous files. ie it saves the current file in the back up if there and replaces the file in the backup with the current version on the desktop. I have been using Syncback to sync the desktop and laptop. It can do backups but don't believe it maintains the previous version of the files in the back up. |

OP: I have a Free Agent drive from Seagate and the software that will not run on Windows 8.1 is call Seagate Backup Manager. I have downloaded a copy of their current software but have not installed it and Seagate will not provide inforamtion on it. So I don't know if it does what I want. |
