What you need to know

Backup software copies or images some or all contents of your hard drive - those photos, videos, songs, and documents you can't afford to lose - to another local, network or remote drive. If your drive dies or loses information, you have duplicate copies of your files. Discover, Purchase and download the latest version from the best backup software developers in the world like: Acronis, FileStream, Genie-Soft, Paragon, Symantec, and Vcom.

But not all backup software is the same. Some copy only the files and folders that you specify. Others products make an exact copy, or image, of your hard drive on a backup disk. Both methods have their pros and cons. The former is best if you only want to backup or archive your data files. But make sure you have installation discs for Windows and your applications. The latter option is better if you want to copy everything on your computer, even Windows. This makes it easier to restore your computer to the way it was before your hard drive died.
