If you?re looking for easy to use traditional backup but don?t need
disaster recovery, look no further. Power Backup has one of the
friendliest user interfaces in its class and tts approach makes it
easy to get up to speed without unnecessarily shielding you from
the concepts you need to form an effective backup strategy.
The program also has all the features average users need: full,
incremental, and differential backup, files comparison and
versatile scheduling.
What?s missing are tape drive support (not an issue for most users
who back up to hard drive or CD/DVD) and true disaster
recovery--there?s no way to create a boot disc. However, Power
Backup does create self-restorable backups. Simply click on your
latest backup (it?ll have an .exe extension) and up pops a little
dialog asking if you want to restore the files to their original
location or a new one. Since reinstalling Vista simply isn?t that
painful, disaster recovery isn?t the issue it once was, though it
would behoove Cyberlink to look into a boot disc for version 3.
Note: you can also find a 30-day
trial version of this software at the developer's site.
