NTI's design philosophy is to keep it simple. Unfortunately, simple
isn't always easy, as in Backup Now!'s buttons labeled with numbers
instead of their function. Still, you'll have far less trouble
getting up to speed with the this program than with a product like
Retrospect, and the look of the Backup Now! GUI is substantially
improved for version 5.
Backup Now! 5 offers the usual basics: full and incremental
backup, scheduling, and a compare function. It also has a nice set
of utilities that display information about your drives, network
and system. Unfortunately in my testing it failed to back up some
open files (files in use by the OS or other programs).
At $49.99, Backup Now! is pricey for a program with no disaster
recovery. However, combined in the $59.99 Deluxe Suite with the
Drive Backup imaging component that has that feature it's a much
better deal. Unfortunately, Drive Backup 5 and Deluxe Suite 5
weren?'t available yet, though according to NTI they should ship in
November.
