Hi, Is there a time machine alternative for xp?

[ash xp]

Hi,

I need a time machine alternative for my windows xp, i basically want to create a complete backup of my machine i.e applications, all app files and settings etc just like mac time machine and want to be able to make a hourly backup of any modifications i do to the computer i.e alter a file and have the backup just top up the original backup like time machine does.

Is there such a software for windows?

I don't mind paying for the software btw.

Thanks.

Not sure of the details of "time machine" but does this come anywhere near what you require?

I wouldn't be without it and I've installed it on lots of machines.

A PM received from Ash:

hi,

does this software backup my whole os i.e. its software and applications along with desktop items?

Thanks.

Second copy copies what you ask it to. For a full system backup a lot recommend Acronis (see top of page) but what I do now is use XXclone and make a full clone of my "C" drive to a spare hard driveso that if anything goes wrong, all I have to do is swap the drives over - the spare becomes the "C" drive. The changeover only takes a minute or so and saves a lot of worry about "is the compressed backup I made going to work?"

XXClone is obtainable from http://www.xxclone.com/ There is a free manual version and a pay-for auto.
