Backup-software

Review by johnson: Cool, I like it very much! I always used WinRAR for backups and now we have such a handy utility to work with! (5/5 - 10-Jan-2006)

Review by Michael: Downloaded the Freeware version before appraising for a group of 2000 plus consultants to review the payware SyncbackSE. I was particularly interested in the synchronisiation feature so that our base data could be mirrored on our laptops. I tested the Freeware with four large folders between 2.5g and 15g each using an external drive with 400g capacity. The first action was OK but then every time I did a run it replicated the whole folder on the external drive - 15g each time! I asked SyncBack for their help but this was denied as it was a Freeware copy. I then used the Add/remove MS programme tool to remove Syncback but it still kept the 2.95m logo file on the desktop. Using MS search I deleted all files but I am unable to delete the log...

Actually, you'll be hard pushed to find a better freeware program, period. I've always found their forums very well supported, and they've an excellent online support area.

Perhaps Simon should have tried posting a sensible message to the forums instead of a nonsensical rant about how he wasn't even going to use it anyway. Perhaps he could even have submitted a support ticket? Perhaps he could even have read the message right before his asking for help on exactly the same problem? Of course not, Simon isn't a sensible Simon. (5/5 - 20-Jul-2005) Review by simon smith: Couldn't get this software to work. Registered with their forum for support. Posted the fact that the software wouldn't work along with the error message I was getting and guess what- do you think I got a helpful reply? No!! They just removed my post from the forum! This tells you what kind of company they are. Don't waste your time with this- It DOESN'T WORK! (1/5 - 20-Jul-2005)

Review by Meyer Manheim: A friend passed to me the link to BOS, and I installed the latest version, which is not from 08/04 as you wrote, but from May 2005. They improved several features and offer a different way (never seen such before) to restore lost Outlook files. (5/5 - 19-Jun-2005)
