Looking for automated backup software - please consider the following!
- Something that can be set on a schedule.
- Incremental backup after full backup - is it possible to eliminate deleted files folders? i.e. you delete a folder on computer, it is removed from backup? That way I don't restore and find culmination of unused files/folders.
- Replicates info on hard drive versus using a 'package' - some software programs package up backup data and can be restored only with same software. I want to be able to open backup folder from any system (if needed) and have access to files/folders.
- Able to select destination, just just F: drive for example, but F:\Notebook Backup.
- efficient, easy to use interface, reliable, etc!
I have tried CMS software (didn't remove unused/deleted files on subsequent backups), Windows Vista Backup SW/Retrospect SW by EMC (both 'packaged up' backup), and Norton 360 Backup would let me select a destination folder - only to USB Backup Drive.

Cobian Backup. I used it briefly on my work PC, and from that experience, I'm fairly sure it meets all your requirements. Plus, it's free.
