(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It's important to back up all of the important files on your PC. Remembering to do so, though, can be difficult. One option is to use a program which automatically monitors your hard disk and backups up files each time they change.

Such programs are very useful, though obviously you should never back up the contents of one hard disk onto a different part of the same drive. Ideally, you should back up to another computer on your network, or to an external drive.

Bvckup (think of the A as being upside down) is a new backup utility for Windows which continually monitors one or more folders and performs a backup whenever a monitored files changes. It's very simple to use. Just create one or more backup settings (which need consist of nothing more than a source and destination folder), then leave the program to get on with it. The toolbar, as you can see from the screen shot below, contains nothing more complicated than a Go and Stop button. Even these are irrelevant, if you choose to have backups take place automatically rather than when you manually start them.

Bvckup is currently in beta. It's a 0.5 MB download, runs on Windows XP and above, and is free to use. According to the web site, the finished product will cost $19.95, but beta testers will be rewarded with a free licence. So now's the time to try it out.
