  I use Genie myself and it works fine with my external disk.

  Hi Fintan

  In the office I work in I set up a backup with Retrospect Worgroup software. It is very good and extremely reliable which is the most important part of any backup. It took me a while to figure out a full network backup but once set up it runs flawlessly. I have now set it up in 4 offices and so far it has been running perfectly for 2 years. if you dont have a network you obviously wouldnt need the workgroup version and perhaps the Express/Desktop version would be sufficient for your needs. As it happens I use and set up this software exclusively on Apple computesr but i would assume that t would work equally well on PC’s…! Here is the website:

  EMC are probably the no. 1 provider of backup solutions, so I’d have complete faith in this product. And at only $119.00 it’s excellent value for money too. Will have to pull out the ol credit card myself now :(

  I run a Graphic Design Studio (ie big files) and we’ve been using Folders Synchronizer for about 5 years. It’s for Mac and it’s about ?30. Here’s the link http://www.softobe.com/products/flsy/pp.html

  I use Backuppc to backup everything, my photos, home directory and websites onto an external 500GB disk but if you’re not familiar with Linu then don’t bother checking out http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

  Works a treat however!
