Backup Software for Windows

People frequently ask me what program they should use to backup their computer. My answer is “Buy a Mac.” since it has the wonderful Time Machine built-in. I’ve never had an answer for Windows since I haven’t used it at home for years.

I have an answer now: Rebit Backup Software (pronounced ree-bit).

Granted, I haven’t actually used it, so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. However, it got a good review from How-to Geek.

Remember, your backup solution should have two components: a backup of your entire computer to an external drive for quick recovery and online backup of your data (i.e. documents, photos, music, etc.) in case your computer is destroyed or stolen. I personally use Backblaze.
