Backup Platinum

Backup Platinum is one of the most complete data backup programs I've seen. It includes not just a CD-R/RW backup but a DVD-R write optionas well. DVD's are getting very affordable and hold up to 9 gigs of data. That allows you to create a more complete backup. Unlike some other backup programs I tried these options are fully self supported in Backup Platinum. There is no need to format CD-R or a DVD-R media. Just insert a blank CD-R or DVD-R and Backup Platinum will do the backup at the scheduled time.

Backup Platinum can be run as a service. This allows you to leave your computer on over night but you can leave it at the login screen. The backup will run as scheduled. Backup Platinum also includes a pre setup Outlook and Outlook express backup selection. It's not only finding your .PST files but also all support files, archives and even news groups. The registry backup comes in very handy in case your system becomes infected with spyware. With Backup Platinum you have an excellent chance to get rig of these unwanted critters since it can keep several generations of backups.

Backup Platinum is similar to Handy Backup Pro. However it offers several features not found in HB 4.0 or HB Pro. Owners of Handy Backup feel right at home using Backup Platinum.

What our tester has to say...

Want to get the job done? Take a good look at Backup Platinum. Or maybe not and just get it. Backup Platinum has a lot to offer starting with a very easy setup. Its backup solution covers just about any storage media you have available on a typical laptop or desktop system. That includes native DVD-R/RW support. No need for packet writing software or formatting. Add media spanning to that and you can backup your entire PC to DVDs.

However as with most Windows file backup utilities in case of a system crash you will need to reinstall Windows and all the applications before you restore the data. The shortcuts for Outlook and Outlook Express are done very well and so is the registry backup.

Overall it's one of the stronger programs I have reviewed. If you need to make up your mind fast Backup Platinum is a program that will do the job and probably has the features you forgot to look for.
