[RTC List] PC backup utility: recommendations?

[Kevin Nelson]

Until I got a laptop that I often carried around, I didn't think too much
about doing backups aside from the standard USB hard-drive system.

 

But the laptop situation caused me to rethink the situation. Thus, I now use
Carbonite on my laptop, simply because it does backups whenever I am using
my laptop near a wireless internet location. I have over 100 GB backed up.

'Retrospect' has been a player in the backup biz for years.  I haven't tried
this version but it might meet your needs:

According to their online information:

 

- Disaster recovery - Purchase the Retrospect Disaster Recovery add-on in
order to create a bootable disc for Bare Metal Restores on Windows computers
(Some editions include Disaster Recovery as a feature)

- patented incremental backup technology

Can anyone recommend a backup utility for a PC running Windows XP (32 bit)?

I'm a Mac user, but we also have a PC that we just purchased a Western
Digital backup drive for.

We want to:

Create a bootable drive

Update only the files that have changed (deleting, not duplicating, files
that have moved).

 

I use SuperDuper for the Mac. It has a simple, elegant interface.

 

thanks for any suggestions,
