well, this is a list of FREE software and if you have ever used the windows backup program…well…its not exactly full featured. Fantastic list here of free alternatives that can do a bit more than the built in backup windows comes with.

EASEUS Todo Backup is also a free and reliable backup software http://www.todo-backup.com/
As many have already said, nice list, but I don’t see a comparison of features.
Now maybe it would be asking for too much for an article of this scope, but a table listing which product has which key features would have been much better. But I cannot even construct such a table based on this post. Which packages, for example, support differential backup? Which support backing up disks with multiple partitions? Which can backup the “hidden partition” so popular on Windows laptops/netbooks now (since the OEM is too lazy to deliver CDs with the system), the partition accessed by booting while holding down a special key combo?
What other “bells and whistles” does Cobian provide, that WinXP Backup does not? Which others in this list provide which of these “bells and whistles”?
Usefull list, nice post
I have some experience with Cobian
