    Overall Rating: 1 Star Review

    Duration of ownership:30 Days

    Strengths: Automatic full disk backup

    Weaknesses: They claim it makes a bootable backup. I tried multiple times, including with help from their tech support. The backups created were NOT bootable.

    Overall Evaluation: Backup software that doesn't work is worse than no backup software. While the individual application data files appeared to backup correctly. The application failed on every attempt to create a bootable backup. Since I have seen this product rated highly, I'm also critical of reviewers who don't take their job seriously. I think most only test the backup step. The critical step is obviously recovery. Any credible review of backup software should test manufacturer claims by attempting data recovery. Since Bounceback is designed to create bootable backups (supposedly allowing much faster recovery), this should be part of an evaluation. The unwary user who relies on a positive review of this product may be burned badly when they have a system crash, attempt recovery, but find their backup is unbootable.
