I use Easeus Todo, paid.
I have been backing up for a while but noticed some problems when I had to find a file. I used chatGPT and it said my method of back up could have problems so I'm simply asking for the best way to back up.
Here's what I need:
We do tax work so I need annual plus 3 months. I need the ability to go back 15 months. IF something really goes wrong there are ways to recover older items.
I need daily for 'OOPS HELP' happenings. I've had to go through backups 14-15 days old to find the file that was not pre-mangled.
GPT says I should keep all my current backups and do a new FULL backup and then incremental daily.
I've always browsed for needed backed up files and found the file I needed, but GPT says if I have to do a full restore and I have the original backup but not ALL the incremental then I'm in trouble, or at least getting a very time consuming recovery job.
Storage space is not a problem. I don't want massive back up files EVERY day though...they are BIG files.
