A good Backup Software program will not only backup files but it will take an "image" of your hard driv.

I think we have all heard those crazy myths about computers and how they can affect our lives. Like once,Backup Software Myth Debunked Articles I read about a conspiracy that the anti virus software makers were responsible for transmitting viruses to all the computers of the world so they could cash in on "saving" us. Another one was about web cams being able to transmit the images of us to the world even when they were turned off. There’s some weird and wonderful stories out there but how do you know what to believe when it comes to Backup Software? Why don't we look at a couple of the myths and see if there is any truth in them at all.

Myth 1: Backup Software programs are really expensive.

True, they can be expensive but there are also some that can be very reasonably priced for the performance and service you get. Because a lot of these programs are targeting big business, they can be perceived as costly, but there is a far less expensive version for the home office user and this is surprisingly inexpensive.

Myth 2: You can do it all yourself for zero cost.

Again, true. You can do it all yourself but by the time you finished backing up every file and folder that you have in your system many, many hours would have passed and you would need to start all over again to be up to date. backup your programs and settings as well. You wouldn't be able to do this by hand in the short space of time a backup program would.
 
It is true that you would need to consider a backup program that can service your pc in the way that you would want it. Remember that you get what you pay for and any program that doesn't also capture images of your hard drive is only doing part of the job.
