[QUOTE="imme, post: 733286, member: 47631"] Im looking for an alternative to Time Machine to back up my data. What I want to do is to select a few folders on my computer and set a destination hard drive to have it back up to. then when it backs up I just want it to backup or replace the files that have previously been backed up on the hard drive. There is a windows program to do this that is fantastic (cant remember the name offhand) but you select the files, how often you want it to backup and job done. I'v also thought about the idea of just creating an image with a program like superdur but im not sure how practical this is and if it will work well. all im interested in is the files and folders, not restoring a whole image of my hard drive. The things I dont like about time machine is that I can set how often i want it to backup, it does multiple backups of my system when I only really want one that keeps getting replaced. I also seem to have multiple backup folders for the same day. I also never use the time machine restore interface I would just brows the folders and restore my files like that. Any suggestions?
