Editorial Review of PowerBackup

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. --Jon L. Jacobi
