Just found a very simple file backup tool
-
Hi, At the new place I am at installing new software takes a lot of time and a complicated procedure. For file/directory backup I have been using FreeFileSync for the last couple of years. However that requires an install on Windows which I can't do without it costing a lot of time. Fortunately I have found a free portable alternative ( link below ). It is a pretty old program ( last version dates back to 2007 ) and pretty basic but to simply copy the content of one or more directories to a backup directory on a USB drive it works just fine, even on a windows 10 machine. It is probably a good old win32 based application that despite its age just keeps on working. There are even a few options you can set such as only to copy new/updated files etc... Anyway, for me it does exactly what I need it to do, maybe someone else might like it as well. Freebyte Backup[^]

Went looking for this last weekend, the entire site seems have disappeared, I can only find the program on places like CNet and the like. They say it is version 3.0 dated 09-10-2012, wonder if it is the same thing.

The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004
