<description><![CDATA[Sorry I didn't comment yesterday, I was waiting to see how an overnight backup went.

This is a real nice simple program, and I recommend it.  Definitely not deserving the thumbs-down factor it received.

There is only one omission I would suggest to the developers to remedy: differentials (as opposed to incrementals) are written to a new file each time, so you get lots of duplicates for any files changed since the last full backup.  It would be nice to have a choice that is the same as the current differential but updates the output file rather than creating a new one (same way as you can do a full and update that file in place).  But that's a minor point.

The user interface is simple (which is a good thing, I mean), and a plain zip file as the backup output is always a good idea. (The only thing better being no container at all - just a copy of the files!)

3 out of 4 stars.  An excellent freebie; not so sure how much I'd pay for it though.  $10 perhaps?  Maybe they would be better to find some hardware manufacturer and get a deal to bundle it with a disk drive.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[interesting to find out about new stuff, until now i did my backup with the antivirus that i have, bitdefender internet security 2009. it has a module in it with back up. i used some while ago also free products, but what i don't like about them that they don't have a lot of modules, personally i like more complex ones. anyway, it's good to stay up to date.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Downloaded and installed fine on vista 64.  I wanted to try this becuse I have segate backup manager and it often does not backup my music and pictures for some resaon.

One thing I didn't like is the compression method, I have  huge backup drive and don't need to compres data which can lead to loss in terms or restoring original fies although not always the case.

It seems to run rather slow as well.  I didn't see the incremental backup otion but it is late and I haven't searched for it just yet.

Suggestions to the developer:
1.  Have the option to compress or not.
2.  The download was inside a zip file which I didn't know until after hitting the first install button thus it download twice causing a conflict.

3. Offer incremental backups right from the wizard along with the full backup.  

I am still evaluating so far it looks to be a good application 

Note about the tumbs up or down GOTD should add this in the comments section as I too see a dispairity in the number of thumbs down vs. the actual comments.

Thanks for the offer GOTD.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I agree with Guiseppe Madre.  I've noticed on a lot of these "reviews"  that there are more thumbs down but all the actual comments seem to be positive.  It's really hard to get an honest view of the program when the TD don't share their reasons.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have never had a back up tool or system because most of them I reviewed in the past were just so complicated I felt I would probably never be able to use them.  But, when I looked at the screen shots of DoubleSafty they appeared to be very user friendly.  I am so happy I tried it.  This is so easy.  I was able to install the software, back up a file, and restore that file within minutes.  I'm sure there may be more powerful backup tools out there.  And that's fine for those who understand how to use them.  But, for me, this is perfect.  Having a backup system now makes me feel a bit more confident that I can restore my content if I ever loose it.  Thanks very much GAOTD for getting this one for people like me. :-)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#40 Phoenix NightOwl - actually these apps are strictly speaking not completely free. You have to download and install them and if you lose them you cannot use the same downloaded EXE to reinstall them because the Activate app will tell you you're out of time. Imagine if your hard drive fails and you have no way of reinstalling the very program you were using for your backups!!

And that's why I would never dream of relying on a backup program from GOTD other than as a way of evaluating it, which I have no need to do since I have my current back up needs covered.

I use Acronis True Image to back up my hard drives and Cobian to back up specific files and folders incrementally. To some that may seem like overkill, but when your hard drive fails and you have a double bubble backup strategy, you don't even break into a sweat. I speak from experience.

Once again, thanks GOTD, keep 'em coming!]]></description>
