It is a small utility, which is completely accessible. It efficiently
makes a copy of a folder (including all suvfolders, if desired) to
another folder. It provides many different filtering options and a
scheduled time, which is referred to as a job. You can create as many
jobs as you want. It only copies files that change and I have never
noticed any slowdown of my computer when it kicks in.
I use it's tagging feature to create daily archives of a few critical
folders. This particular tag method allows me to go back to a older
version based on the day of the month.
Job name: Finance
Source location: C:\Users\Don\Documents\Finance\
Destination location:
C:\Users\Don\Documents\BackupVersioning\Finance\Day<dd>\
This particular job would create 31 different copies of this folder with
the <dd> replaced by the day of the month. These folders do not contain
a large number of files and disk space is cheap. The destination folder
can be anywhere on your home network. Later in the night I have it copy
all of my data to a different computer in my house. It works flawlessly!

Hi Don,
1. Do you have a link to the accessible backup-service (Carbonite)?
2. It is correct understood that Image for Windows is accessible for
JAWS-users, or do you also have a link to this application?
Very thanks.
Regards,
Anders

Emne: Re: [Blind-Computing] System Backups
Actually, cloud backup services like Carbonite only back up your
data. They do not backup your system or applications. I suppose it
is possible to force it to back up everything on the disk, but it is
not really designed for that. You even need to tell it to backup
large files, like Videos, by including those folders and telling it
to backup that file type.
Yes, as far as I can tell, Carbonite is 100% accessible using JAWS.
DropBox as previously stated, is a great way to backup critical data
for free for up to 2 GB. I also use Karen's Backup to automatically
make copies of critical folders to other computers in the house.
To occasionally. backup all of my system files, applications,
settings, and data I use a disk image tool. There are probably a few
that work, but I use Image for Windows. If you need or want a fast
way to recover from a hard disk crash or other major problem, a disk
image is the way to go. Unfortunately, this is not automatic and
should be done before major changes to your system and after
installing and configuring new software, in order to have an disk
image of a stable system. One reason I like Image for Windows is
that it can run in the background while you continue to work.
