    Hi,

    What is the best backup software to backup files and folders from different drives to another drive on the same PC? I am running windows 10 x64.

    I am not asking for a drive clone or image software like macrium refect or ghost or acronis. I am asking for a software which is light weight but reliable. Any paid / freeware suggestion will help.

    Thanks in advance.

    you can backup files and folders from within Windows.

    Settings -> Update & Security -> Backup

    I want to copy a Windows OS partition to another partition on the same GPT drive. Will freefilesync do this as well?
