Must be free (prerably also for commercial use, but I guess I can live without that; home has priority over work; it's just that I like to use the same tools at both if I can)

I don't need encrustation, Zip or other packing or incremental backuos. I don't need backup of common windows directories, like My Documents, or programs like Outlook.

I do need scheduling, with the ability to name the back up directories (e.g., daily backup - Mon/Tue... or Week 1, 2, 3 .. or Month - Jan/Feb...)

It would be nice to be able to exclude certain file types, which I define.

Copying of locked/open files is nice bonus.

I have personally used Genie Timeline in the past.

It is free and easy to use. The interface is intuitive and rather modern looking.

There is a link:

But no mention of whether it meets my needs. +1 anyway, why not? – Mawg Jun 8 '11 at 13:21
