I'm looking for a software which I can use to do a monthly backup of select folders to an internal hard drive. The only requirement is that the software needs to be able to start up the drive only for the backup and keep it shutdown at all other times. I don't need a full image backup or any cloud functionality.
If such a thing isn't possible, I'm willing to unplug the sata cables and reconnect then once a month. Does anyone have any suggestions for a basic backup software? The drive for some reason doesn't show up in Windows File History.
Thank you

Re: Simple Backup Software Required
Hi,
You can use our commercial edition: Backup4all, that allows you to run an action before the backup and another action after the backup.
This way, you schedule the backup execution once a month and you configure two batch files to start and stop the drive you need.

Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html
