Fireworks, parades, unicorns made of ice cream, pleasant leprechauns doing amusing jigs; these things are fun. Backing up files is not. If you disagree with this you may be a loser. Check that, you’re a loser. Or a network admin. Wait, that should read AND a network admin. Boring network geeks aside, backing up files is important. Much like prostate exams. Important, but painful. If you’re not backing up files at home, here’s a free tool that you can use to get on board the fun bus.
AutoVer is about as straight forward as it gets. Simple to install and use, and does everything you’ll need it to do. Plus some advanced features sure to keep the die-hards interested, such as version controlling. It’s obviously not really something you’d want to use in a huge scale work environment, but if you’re to forgetful/lazy/narcoleptic to manually back up files on your home personal, it’s worth a look at. Once you have it set up, it runs pretty well on it’s own, and handles errors smoothly. It doesn’t explode if your back up drive fails, or any of that fun stuff, and works with flash drives and the like. And the price is perfect. Mmmmfree.
