One big negative was Windows defender blocked some files from cracked games even though I set it to ignore the source and backup folder. Which is true? I'm not sure about it but I don't really want to risk finding out if I have to reinstall Windows and it's messed up the backup. Some people say it's possible, others say it forgets all the time stamps as it's kept seperate from the data.
Veeam (free) can only backup one job and when it comes to recovery it doesn't seem like you can specifically choose which folders to backup, you have to recover the whole job.įile History seems confusing when it comes to recovering on a new pc or after reinstalling windows.
What are the top free backup software for Windows? So far I've tried these but they have problems. Just make sure to tag the post with the flair and give a little background info/context.
