Back-Up Options for Windows Computer?

BTSync is amazing. The only thing I would like different is if it offered a file explorer in the web UI so you could see what each shared directory contains.

Dropbox-style, exactly! I completely agree.

For anyone attempting to use SyncToy + Task Scheduler + Mapped Networked Drives + Windows 7 and your scheduled backup fails because the networks cannot be found....

SyncToy must be set-up with an UNC path. Instead of using the 'Browse' button in SyncToy, open up cmd and type 'net use' and use the "Remote Name" instead of the mapped drive letter. For example, my result is below and I use \\FREENAS\robert_bak instead of M: now and it works great with the task scheduler.

Code:

Status       Local     Remote                    Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK           M:        \\FREENAS\robert_bak      Microsoft Windows Network
