Freeware Program of the Week

Macrium Reflect 
Version: v4.2.2733 - Date: 22nd June 2010 - File Size: 30.5 MB
Macrium Reflect, by Paramount Software UK Ltd is a beautifully done product that's a full-featured solution for keeping your computer backed up. The program has everything you need including a very handy scheduling function. Macrium Reflect has some innovative features that I really liked. For example, it allows you to save all your backup set definitions in XML format. Cool. Another really cool feature lets you create a rescue CD. That's a powerful feature because if your computer won't boot you can use the CD and then restore your data. .
The free "home" version has everything the average user needs to make a complete hard drive backup or an incremental backup of only the files that have changed since a certain date.

Besides Freeware, ACS is a strong proponent of "Green" or "portable" software. Portable, in this case means software that can be run from a usb thumb drive, SD card, etc. without writing to the host computers registry. It's self contained in its own directory on the removable media and leaves no traces behind. A few good sources for complete suites of software follow:
