Use Windows Backup or Macrum Reflect?
I have not been doing a steady job of backup and want to get it right now.
One issue I have, particular to me, is that I want the process to not be obscure. To that end I started just making a new folder on my backup drive and copying the Desktop folder from C: (because moving that to the D: drive where I want to keep my data seems challenging), and then copying from D: the contents of the directories that I have changed to the backup drive. My bookmarks change most often so I export those pretty often to the Desktop and export and copy them onto a USB drive to take when we travel (not very often lately...).
I want my recovery files to be easy to find and easy to use. I want to be able to copy a file or set of files out of the backup onto the D: drive without that overwriting what may be newer versions. The program I was using before (Acronis) I never could get files out of. That kinda turned me off of backup programs.
So, first, I see that Macrum is a tenforums fave but that the tutorials on backup and restore are for Windows B&R. What should I read up on? Plus what other advice do you have for me?
