SOFTWARE BETTER THAN SYNCTOY ON WINDOWS 10 SOFTWARE
I develop software, and have been frustrated at backup software that is too complex, has a geeky interface with arcane terms or far too many options, doesn’t schedule backups automatically, doesn’t tell you what it is doing, use some weird file format, or otherwise needlessly sucks your time. Quickshadow is pretty much the program I’ve thought about building for myself. I installed QuickShadow, and had that rare moment of surprise (shock even!) because for once everything went better, and worked better, than I expected, so I thought I’d write this note.

I was extremely busy at the time (just discovered the notch-delay solar theory, see the update below*), so I made a note of this backup program and promised to have a look when I wasn’t so rushed.Ī few days ago I’d finished a paper for submission, and felt it was time (time for a change of topic, anyway). Last year it turned out Joanne’s old HDD was cajoled into running a bit longer so we got everything off it without resorting to backups, but it was good to know the backups were there.Īt the time, reader Ashleigh popped up and offered copies of his backup program for Windows, QuickShadow. SyncToy just synchronizes your data with a backup folder, thereby making a backup in the usual file format, without needing a special back up program to recover backed up files. We’d been using Microsoft’s SyncToy to do daily backups, like a lot of technical trendies from around 2007. With donations from this blog (thank you!) she bought a new Windows computer, which works wonderfully, and seems much quicker mainly due to the solid state drive (SSD). Joanne’s old computer developed a very flaky main hard drive (HDD) last year, and died after a few fits and splutters. He said, “I was building backup software I’d do it like this!” - Jo Backing up Joanne’s inbox Guest post by David Evans I hardly ever hear David enthused about software. A skeptic developed a quick inexpensive answer, and we’re impressed. How often do you hear a story of an easy software solution to a widespread problem? If you leave your computer running (with sleeps) for days like I do, the back up program might never back up the most important files which are open.
