I checked windows XP's backup. It saves the file in a proprietary format
which I don't like. I prefer backing up in an easily accessible format like
plain files.
There are indeed many free backup programs, copy utility,
folder-sychronizing programs. I was hoping someone could point me to the
right one or narrow my choices so I won't have to examine or test each one.
My needs are
- be able to tree copy AND verify the copy
- has a GUI interface
- freeware, preferably open source
- optionally, be able to specify a list of files/extensions to ignore

Windows Backup is part of Windows XP. If you have Pro, it's in your Start
menu, under Accessories > System Tools. If you have Home, you'll need to
install it from the CD.
A search of the internet will yield dozens, if not hundreds, of free backup
programs.
