| Back up software
Anyone know of any good fool proof back up software? Need something easy to use for a buddy with no real computer knowledge.

Its all files so the data isnt big.. But its just the fact that the guy doesnt know Jack about computers except websearching and emails. So I need to find something user friendly where you can just select the folders you want backed up on a daily or weekly basis.

doesnt get more brain dead than drop box..
as long as he knows how to drag and drop the folders he wants to back up, he can just remember to do that every week or whatever

Yeah, I figured so, But I was hoping for an option that runs backups weekly on specific folders so he wouldnt have to D&D all files.

why doesnt he just use the dropbox folder as his main folder for storage on his computer then?
if he doesnt know anything about computers, im assuming the backup is more for hdd failure than being able to go back 3 revisions to the file he wants.
