WinBackup 2.0

A backup program well designed with the home computer in mind. It is starting to show its age. In the office or corporate environment the lack of an email notification makes Winbackup difficult to control and not appealing from an administrator's standpoint. But at home it has its highlights such as an excellent scheduler with great flexibility. A nice Windows XP style log clearly pointing to problems. I can't understand why not everybody can do that. Another plus point is the direct support of DVD burners. So if you use it yourself at home and don't care much about the shortcomings, take a look at it.

We hope the company will invest again in technology instead of marketing and bring Winbackup up to standard in its class. Lacking an FTP backup option and no Email notification puts this program no longer in first place. Also a before and after backup run option is needed to stop programs and services such as MSDE or any other service that locks files you like to backup. The program seems still actively supported.

What our tester has to say...

I was able to run a scheduled backup even without being logged onto the computer and noticed that I could encrypt files too. In case I forgot my password on the encrypted files, this program comes with a Rescue password feature. When it comes to locked files the program is unable to copy the files; however, it does produce an error message in the log that allows the user to know that the files were not able to be backed up.

Unfortunately, you cannot e-mail the log to yourself and this program does not support FTP.

The buying process is worth mentioning. You feel exposed to a horde of telemarketers to buy additional products and special specials! If you're not carefull you may spend more than your planned on.

*****
Conclusion:
+ Nice set of features for home system
- No \automatic off-site features. Pricetag too high.
