CCC can capture all your files exactly as they are at a moment in time. Restore files you accidentally deleted, or that were corrupted by malware. We're backup experts and we want to help you craft a robust and reliable backup strategy. We've built nearly 20 years of experience into CCC's Copy Coach, which proactively alerts you to configuration concerns about your tasks and offers advice on how to address them.

yCopy2
yCopy2 is a backup/sync tool with multi-threading and a rich set of command-line variables. Warning: the SYNC option will recursively delete files & folders from the destination path which aren't present on the source. Use with caution, and experiment with unimportant files first. I've been using yCopy2 to back up my stuff for a couple of years now, but that doesn't mean the program will suit your needs. Use this software at your own risk. Due to a limitation in Microsoft .Net, yCopy cannot back up files where the source or destination path + filename is longer than 256 characters. E.g. C:\Temp\etc\etc\more stuff\(to a depth of 256 chars)\Some really long file name.doc. A network mode where yCopy2 will communicate in a client-server fashion, speeding up lan backups. Built-in scheduling to run backups at specified intervals. Compatible with Windows 7 SP1 and newer.

Time Machine
Time Machine
Use Time Machine, the built-in backup feature of your Mac, to automatically back up your personal data, including apps, music, photos, email, and documents. Having a backup allows you to recover files that you later delete or can't access. Time Machine automatically makes hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for all previous months. The oldest backups are deleted when your backup disk is full. The first backup might take a long time, but you can continue using your Mac while a backup is underway. Time Machine backs up only the files that changed since the previous backup, so future backups will be faster.
