So this incident inspired me to backup my data, something I don't do very often, if ever. So do you know that Windows XP Home Edition by default DOES NOT install the backup utilities? Now, I must admit, I like XP, it's the best Windows OS i've ever used, and it's been stable and I've had no problems with it but this just seems incredibly stupid. What kind of company sells an operating system that you can't even backup your data, without figuring out how to install the proper utilities, which I haven't yet, and I probably won't, I'll go find some free software to do it, or just use tar. Maybe normal users don't need to backup their stuff that often, but it seems to me that the backup utilities should be installed by default.
Anyway, that's my rag on windows.
Anyone know of good, reliable, free (as in beer, I mean, pepsi), backup program for windows?
