I've used Bvckup 2 for years and found it the most reliable solution for PC-driven backup and replication jobs on Windows. It has a few high-level feature limitations that have bugged me (splitting a large folder backup across multiple smaller drives, for example), but it nails the core competencies better than anything else I've used.

Re: splitting a backup across several drives - this has unique UI requirements that aren't compatible with bvckup2's core Engine/UI model. The engine runs all backups autonomously and the UI merely shows the progress. Conversely, split backups are interactive - eject A, insert B, etc.

Sure, though my use case would look more like treating multiple destination devices as one logical AND, and running the backup only when all are present. I wouldn't need any guarantees w/r/t which files land on which device or the order they're written to, only that if sum(destination device storage) > size of folder to be backed up, everything from the folder makes it onto one of the devices.

OK, I see. That's a good case, let me think about it.
