Though the first version of Shadow wasn't ready for prime time (it
missed backing up some files), subsequent versions have been
relatively reliable. That said, I did manage to crash version 3
once this go round and during the initial baseline backup (copying
everything the first time) it failed to back up its own locked log
files, a failing shared by NTI's Backup Now! But open file backup
isn't generally important when only backing up the My Documents
folder?the most common scenario with CDP.
Shadow will back up files as they change, or at specified
intervals, a nice option if you don't want the program interfering
with CPU or disk intensive applications like real time video or
audio recording. You can also save all revisions of a file, a
specified number of revisions, or only the latest copy.
Shadow's interface is attractive and friendly, though I'd rather
be able to specify multiple destinations for a backup job instead
of defining multiple jobs to accomplish the same thing. But
multiple jobs also give the program greater flexibility. Shadow
lacks a true fully-integrated restore function though it does add
an Explorer right-click menu option let you restore Shadow backup
files to their original location or a new one.
