Default OT--Backup Software

Does anyone have any recommendations for easy to use, automated backup
software. Basically I want something to use to back up my hard drive to an
external hard drive. If the software is free that would be even better.

TIA

Brian

Try Second Copy, surely someone you know must have a copy.

Not free, but try Acronis True Image. It has bailed me out of several
fixes. http://www.acronis.com You can run it a trial copy for a
short time to see whether it suits your needs.

Another free one, "Macrium Reflect FREE Edition":

(but I've been unable to make my XPS 420 boot successfully using the default
recovery cd, no problem with Paragon )

While I am not a big Acronis True Image fan, mainly because it won't
restore from *some* USB drives, which makes it worthless once you find
this out. But there are two free Acronis True Image versions if you have
Seagate, Maxtor, or Western Digital drives.

Acronis True Image Seagate Edition (DiscWizard)
