Ive been testing backup software, mostly free ones,
what i want is, no propriety backup format, scheduled backups, and network backup
thats all and free is good

ive tried cobian, winbackup, ntbackup, and synchbackup, none of those do what i want

anyone have a good suggestion?

what are you backing up to?

What features are you looking for? We might be able to point to some (low-cost) solutions that provide that functionality.

didnt you read my post, i want it to backup without compression, to a networked computer, and scheduled. thats all

check out rsync. it's a little difficult to use at first, but once you figure it out you'll never go to anything else. I use it all the time and it's been 100% reliable.

cwrsync is a windows port of it.
