What Is the Best Automated, Incremental Backup Solution for Windows?

Question

Here is the case that I recently created a backup for my computer, but the process took me so long. I searched for a better and faster way to back up my data, and I learned about incremental backup. But how do I create an automated incremental backup so that I don't have to pay much attention and time to it? Thanks in advance!

Accepted Answer

The best solution for creating an automated incremental backup is using backup software. If you want to back up only changed or new data, incremental backup can help. As you may have already known, there's a built-in tool on Windows called File History. It is available for incremental backup and has the ability to back up the files and folder, including the changed files. So, it allows you to create an incremental backup in the advanced settings.However, there are a lot of limitations in File History, like it only supports file backups. Therefore, you can use a reliable and professional tool with comprehensive features to back up incremental data automatically. Here, I will recommend EaseUS Todo Backup.2EaseUS Todo Backup is a powerful and multifunctional backup tool for Windows. It has the ability to create full, differential and incremental backups. Also, it supports you to set scheduled backup for automatically backing up your data to multiple optional destinations. Now, follow the steps below to create automated and incremental backup.Note:A full backup will be created for the first time since it's the basis of the incremental backup.Step 1. Open EaseUS Todo Backup and click the Select backup contents to start.Step 2. Select the type of data and choose which you want to back up.Step 3. Select the destination for saving the backup.Step 4. Click Options and select Backup Scheme to customize the backup schedule and backup method.Step 5. Click Backup Now to start backup.Step 6. After the task is completed, it will be displayed on the left side of the panel.If you still prefer to use File History instead of third-party software like EaseUS Todo Backup, the related article below will tell you how to perform incremental backup.Related article: Can Windows Backup Do Incremental Backups?
