    Hello guys, I am looking for a free backup program that can not only backup whole os but also individual files,folders and of course support incremental/differential backup.

    thanks

    it seems the free edition does not support file/folder backup plus restoration of individual files/folders which is a big deal for me.
    any other suggestion guys.

    Well no, the free version does not allow for Folder and File backups; however, you can mount the full backups by double-clicking on them and then you can drag anything you want out of the backup.
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    seems interesting and I do hope it supports recovering from differential backup for free edition

    So you do want all features found in a PAID version in a free version, right? :g:

    nope . these are my requirements
    Do a full backup and also do support differential backup. Ability to restore specific files from the backup.
    that 's it. I mean the ability to mount the image using a free tool like daemon tool and get access to my files.
