Description of Back It Up!

Installing hardware and software often seems straightforward, but as we all know from painful experience, things all too easily can go haywire. Back It Up, in this respect, is like buying insurance: It will protect you from forever losing your important files. Back It Up helps keep your data safe by compressing and archiving the files that you choose. When something goes awry with your files, you can go back to the previous snapshot of your system. There are options that allow you to delete specified files by choosing the files' extension. You can also schedule backups to run unattended.

Note: This freeware is no longer supported by the vendor.

  Strengths: Backups can be zips or self-extracting zips.

  Weaknesses: Doesn't record full paths in the backup files.

  Overall Evaluation: I can't bring myself to trust many of those automatic backup programs that restore silently. Those might be easy but they might be erroneous. I was looking for a simple program that would keep an easily updated list of things I want archived for recovery and I wanted the resulting file to be easily accessible in the event of a crash. "Back It Up!" creates self-extracting zips. How cool is that? No need to have propietary software installed to get to a needed file. Just run the self-extracting *.exe on any computer and extract to a folder. Simple and bulletproof. I like this program. I couple this with drive imaging and I'm good to go. (I'm still using PowerQuest DriveImage2002 in the BartPE recovery environment.) Drive Imaging coupled with "Back It Up!" It's all I need.
