I've been using Iomega Backup Software version 1.0 with my Windows XP and will be upgrading to a Windows 10 computer. I've tested the 1.0 version on Windows 10 and it will not work. This is a great backup program because it will automatically sense which files have been modified and instantly back them up. I have not been able to find any other backup program that will do this. I see that an Iomega 3.3 version was made but I cannot find a legitimate download for it anywhere. First, would this version work with Windows 10, and second, if so, is there a place to obtain a copy? If not, does anyone know of any other backup program that would automatically run in the background, sense when a file was modified, and instantly back that file up? It doesn't have to be a free program. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Although Iomega Backup Software appears on some websites, you can't install it on Windows 10 because there is no compatibility information available. In this case, a replacement is recommended and I can mention one that I actually use. It's called EaseUS ToDo Backup. It offers the same features as Iomega plus it has the Smart Backup feature that will sense when files are updated and replace them accordingly. You can give it a try using the link posted below.

There is also a free version (the one that I am using) which does the job completely: http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm
