| Hi All
I downloaded free version of SyncBack, can I use it to back up everything on
my pc to an external hard drive? If so, how? As far as I can see, you can
only select the 'source' folder and 'destination folder' - in my opinion, it
only copies files from one to another - in the unfortunate event that I need
to restore my system, how is this achieved?
Cheers, George

SyncBack is designed to backup folders of your choice.
It Can`t backup the complete Hard drive.
You need a drive imaging program, like Acronis, or
Norton Ghost.
Or even one of the Freeware ones.

| You should be able to back up to another PC using a shared drive from
that other PC. Map that drive to a letter on the PC you want to back
up, then back up to that drive letter.
