More Winodws 10 questions...Backup

For full backups and Image creation I use Macrium Reflect I use the premium version but the link is to the free one. I used the free version for years but decided to purchase a license.

I have an older version of Acronis that I use for my desktop and when I got my Win 8.1 laptop discovered that it would not work with that (newest version does), so I found AOMEI Back Up and tried that and found it to be a good substitute for Acronis. It is freeware. When I upgraded to Win 10 it works with that as well. I back up with this to an external hard drive and do full drive image backups. Like Acronis it also has a rescue disk feature so that in the event your hard drive goes down you can boot to the rescue dish (USB stick works for this) and connect to the image backup and restore the drive. You can also do file and folder backups.

SyncBackFree is good for file copy backups. We use that also. AOMEI is best for full drive image backups.

Memeo said the version I was using and paid for won't work with WIN 10.. Need to buy their new version which I won't do...

Can't blame you there. I'm really not sure what that program does but from what I briefly read take a look at SyncBackFree see it it's something you can use. I use it every day to quickly back up and sync specific files and folders. It's a breeze to use and you can set up tasks in task manager right from SyncBackFree. In case you don't get that it's Free from the name ... it is.

I use Cobian. A free backup program that works very well to backup to an external drive or most anywhere.

When using Windows 7, I was using a backup program called "Memeo"... It was bought and paid for.. Now that I have upgraded to Win 10, the program says that it is expired and I must purchase a license...I reloaded the program from scratch and used the product key with no luck.. Memeo support requires more informationon the problem and I just don't want to go back and forth with them to try to resolve the issue.. Has anybody used the backup program that comes with Norton Security Suite and if so.. is it any good? If not, I am looking for recommendations for a new and inexpensive backup program for Win 10..

I don't use either 10 nor Memeo but looking at their website it claims to be compatible with 10. Perhaps you just need to download the latest version if you haven't done so lately.

Windows 10 comes with its own backup program. Go to Settings, to Updates and Security to Backup.

I think there is a built in program in windows 10 to back up your files to an external drive.

Go to:
Control Panel > File History
