They have complete backup facilities, are simple to set up, and they support private file sharing. My friends turned me onto http://www.MyOtherDrive.com for online storage and file sharing.

I'm getting tired of installing and uninstalling in the same day. Lite is a good word for it. Thanks anyway GAOTD! Very disappointing software.

It's a forum, we speak as we find as it should be, to those who knock Ashraf or Binheartoolong, be man enough to give your reasons, otherwise keep your clicks to yourselves. Hi,

Fast. Uses AES if you want. Cost $29.95, but much easier than JaBack and cheaper than the top end versions of this software. I use it to back up important files every two hours and to take daily backups automatically into a new directory each day to give grandfather, father, son type backup security. If you do not want to pay, use a freebie but if you want quick and easy, tried and tested security put Second Copy on your list: http://www.secondcopy.com/products.html I am a long time user of Second Copy, built round easy scheduling, zip files, incremental backup.

It is a great backup software. It can do incremental and differential backups. It is one of the best all-around document/file backup software out there. It does, however, cost money. As many have said, the LITE version is seriously limited. For me, this is one type of software that I'm willing to pay for because of how important backups are. In fact, not only do I do a weekly backup using Backup4all, I also do a nightly backup with Mozy. Then, I also do an image backup using Acronis on a monthly basis.

FWIW of course, I haven't used incremental backups for years, feeling the hassles outweigh any benefits. Years ago, writing to external devices &/or removable media was slow. Hard drives were a *lot* more expensive, and much smaller, so having a backup drive &/or partition wasn't often practical. Being able to backup just new data was quite a time saver. Incremental backups were very much worth it, despite the hassles of having to store 1 full backup, then a smaller version(s) with new or modified data. Today you can maintain sync between files & folders fairly easily when absolutely critical, changing data warrants it. A regular backup to another drive takes minutes, can be scheduled for lunchtime or after hours, & can be more efficient than incremental because you're not archiving essentially useless data. Using just complete backups is also easier IMHO to maintain & track versions, so you can for example easily restore a backup made before you installed those new drivers that didn't quite work out so well. Again, just my opinion FWIW, but when someone says Backup4all Lite doesn't offer incremental backups my response is along the lines of a polite: "So"?
