Advice on Simple Back Up Solutions

I might be making this more difficult than it actually is, but looking for suggestions. I am looking for a simple way to back up the data on my hard drive. It contains mostly personal finance data, health records, some pictures, mostly stuff in Microsoft Office formats. There is only about 20 gig and it is all under one basic folder (with many sub folders). In the past, I have just copied and pasted to an external drive. But now when I had to look up something on the back up, I noticed that some sub folders didn't copy and I do not know why.

Any suggestions? Not interested in anything in the "cloud"

Thanks
 
Your method is the easiest. Just make sure the drive is formatted as NTFS and use another copy wizard such as TeraCopy that can tell you if errors occur during copy.
 
Sorry Agent Smith, didn't mean to ignore, my fault. I see I can download from the link you provided. Will take care of. What about the formatting question? Thoughts?
 
Right click the drive and choose Properties. It will tell you the file system right there.
 
you can check if the sync function is built in already. it is with windows 7 pro on mine. goto start / run / type in sync and see if it comes up. or click on help and type in sync.
 
ok ,Once you install the software to your computer, you can perform data recovery through the following steps.
1 when you successfully install the software on your computer, launch the software and go to the right recovery module.
2. select the hard drive you need to recover and wait the software to scan for the lost data.
3. after scan you can preview found files and then recover them.
