Anyone know of any user friendly, FOSS, backup programs that work on Windows? If they were cross-platform that would be a bonus. Asking for a friend (no really, a family member)
‘install Linux’ not really going to be an option in this case
Install a Windows backup software… targeting a Linux machine? Either that, or external HDDs.
Veeam is not FOSS, but there is a free version, it’s user friendly, and has agents for both Windows and Linux.
Urbackup. It does automatic backups of both files and whole disk image of all computers in the network and it’s set and forget. Once the server is set, you just need to install the client on every machine you need to backup, it will take all the settings automagically from the network.
Duplicati runs om Windows AFAIK.
Not free as in foss. But free as in beer.
You can use xpenology or just a synology disk station with active backup for business. It does quite well with windows and just runs in the background.
Before using that I use urbackup ,which is FOSS. It also worked quite well.
