I'm after a free backup solution for windows. <br />
I just want to plug in a 1TB USB drive, set and forget. Some sort<br />
of log letting me know if there is a fail is essential too.<br />
I have a large PST file, I run outlook 99% of the pc's up-time.<br />
<br />
I'm not a windows backup fan (backup product built in).<br />
<br />
Something like Mac's Time Machine would be grand.
