A filebackup should connect to what you want to be able to restore. Choose the source folders and purpose consciously and check how modified or deleted files are handled. A copy on another physical disk protects against problems other than a second folder on the same disk.

After setting, perform a readback test. Also check hidden files or settings that are important for your work. Save the task settings so you know how a copy was created.

Version retention and a clear recovery process are important for documents and photographs. An app that creates archives uses a different method of recovery than an ordinary file copy. Check which folders you bring and save the copy to another disk or storage location.

Our verdict

Backwild fits file backups on an external drive. Test recovery of a modified and deleted file, so you know what to save the selected settings. Do not constantly connect an extra backup disk to the same error source. Restoring a complete system may require a different approach in addition to files.
