OK, so I am now the proud owner of an Iomega external hard drive and its
free software, EMC Retrospect Express HD 2.5.  This assured me that I
could do complete backups of the system but also drag and drop files.  I
began by a complete backup, then I scheduled backups (backsup?) of my
documents daily.

Now I go and look to see the files, expecting to find my documents in
their folders where I can drag and drop anything I'm doing extra before
the scheduled backup.  But what I get is a series of folders within
folders, all of which, when I click on them, produce a warning message
asking me if I want to proceed.

It looks as if what I have is software that only does restore point type
back-ups.  This is certainly better than nothing but I am not very
reassured by not being able to check my files on the external drive.

Is there some other free software people would recommend which would
make the stuff on the external drive visible to me and which would allow
me to drag and drop extra files as well as scheduling backups?
