I have a folder I want to backup,automatically, on Windows 7. It is only about 200 meg but I need a consistent backup. I tried backblaze etc, and they all do full backups. I just want to backup one small folder, but with no user intervention. Can anyone suggest some good options ?

Admittedly I've only tried it on my work W7 station so far but I think I'll use it at home. Les, do you know whether the project is still live? It looks as though there haven't been any updates to the project for the last few months. It doesn't seem to integrate directly with SkyDrive anymore which is a shame, haven't tried any of the other cloud options yet though.

Any advice much appreciated. Roger. ----- No virus found in this message.
