Vision Backup Home has all the features a conscientious home user
will need, and then some. With its competitors
costing at least $20 more, its low price makes it attractive. And
other versions are available that support server-based backups.
The easy-to use interface lets you easily schedule backups, set
filters for types of files to back up, and quick ways to restore
files. I did find it annoying, though, that the software often asks
"Are you sure you want to cancel wizard?" when I hit Cancel. Two
clicks are not necessary to dismiss a window.
Vision Backup Home backups are encrypted at up to 448 bits and
backups can be saved to CD or DVD media, .zip files, USB flash
drives, hard drives, and tape drives. As I expected, Vision Backup
Home also creates incremental and differential backups by date or
archive bit. My testing didn't include testing restored files for
their integrity, so we suggest you do your own "spot testing"
before committing to this software.
Perhaps one of the coolest features in Vision Backup Home is the
many ways you can send reports of completed backups and other
actions: it can send an e-mail, HTML log file, and, of course,
create text and XML files.
