<description><![CDATA[It also possible to update security info only. I often use Secure Copy http://www.scriptlogic.com/products/securecopy/ (Scriptlogic's tool) to perform file server consolidation and copy just those objects of attributes that I need to in this very moment. For example I often need to compare changes and get the most current data on my backup servers. But copying current data as it is well-known usually leads the copy procedure to get stuck. Not only this situation is annoying but it creates a lock-up in the whole copy and backup procedure thus ruining my plans to complete the procedure in time. I know, some tools say they can retry copying and this all sounds great until you try it. Most of them can do just a brute set of retries. That piss me off. How can I predict how long I would take to handle this file? And what about that file that is locked up because Susan just needs her excel workbook now and doesn't want to lose the access. That's what I like about this Scriptlogic's tool- it behaves smartly without spending the CPU time and network bandwidth on performing useless dummy copy operations. I love that the tool controls the process by itself, tracks how it goes with copying and retries the copy procedure based on the number of retries and time settings.  I usually set it to retry copying for three times in a row and if it fails, I set it to wait for some time while copying other files that are not locked. But not only that, it also allows tuning settings to control server and network load and selectively manage copy operations when handling different storage locations and files. For example, when I perform consolidation of network shares I often set it to synchronize the security settings only. It leaves file content intact and compares changes in ACL. If the access settings have been changed by me here on the current server, it will change them on the destination servers and will not spend traffic on transferring the data. That gives a ton of advantages over the procedures I used to use performing scripted consolidations before I started using Secure Copy.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Actually, Belgian Dude, I had to repeatedly cut and edit that comment because it kept being refused... I used to have the links and more text for that particular comment beforehand =/ Anyway, yes, I *did* notice that there are no links, but I also did notice that if you bother to go looking for those reviews, they do exist.
I realise that it's not good for a company not to link to reviews they claim they have; It looks suspicious/dubious.

<blockquote>First see then believe. Time and time again I have seen programs stop working within a month, 3 months or a year.</blockquote>
True; However, I was being general and paying more attention to the claim that this was a one-day trial (or something like, I'm not going back to read it at this point).

<blockquote>you say”zip is not open source” in responds to Gary because you don’t understand he is not talking about winzip or so but about the archives produced by zip programs.</blockquote>
I addressed both in that comment.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Keilaron,

I guess you didn't understand. The point I was making is that there isn't a actual clickable link that takes you to any of the alleged reviews. Not a single one. The least a self respecting company could do is link of to those pages or to have actual screenshots or something more believable that just a bit of "qouted" text. Anyone can write anything and put it between qoutes and allege it to be a review.
It was the companyrep. that mentioned that they link to all reviews and awards who are available online. Don't you find it a tad weird that of all their reviews and awards there isn't a single one that they link to? Are you really that easily impressed by hot air?

Then again, I guess you are to busy bowing and scrapping that you can't be bothered to actually look at the pages.

---
you say : "..you have as long as your operating system lives to use this program."

First see then believe. Time and time again I have seen programs stop working within a month, 3 months or a year. 

---
you say"zip is not open source" in responds to Gary because you don't understand he is not talking about winzip or so but about the archives produced by zip programs.

In short, think before you write and make sure you are addressing the right issues instead of the ones you imagine.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Gimme (#55) - ZIP is not open source. They're probably giving the specs of the archive format itself by now, but zip programs are not open source. Perhaps you're thinking of <a href="http://www.7-zip.org/" rel="nofollow">7zip</a>? :&gt;

Belgian Dude (#62) - On the topic of reviews: You didn't try all that hard, didya?
<a href="http://www.east-tec.com/company/reviews.htm" rel="nofollow">The review page</a> and one of the reviews are pointed from their index page. Sadly, the first link doesn't link to the other reviews for some reason, but they do exist (you'll have to Google... I couldn't link to that many things here.).

Bill (#63) - Copy it manually. No, seriously. Preferably, you'd pop them onto a few DVDs and there's your music back-up. If you use no compression (not like your music will be compressed anyway), any DVD-capable system will read it, like your DVD player (assuming you're using MP3s, anyway. Sadly, ogg and flac haven't gotten *that* popular yet).

Deni (#69) - You are wrong, thankfully! The only time you need this program to restore your backup is if you use encryption, and even then the trial will do the job - you wouldn't need to pay.
Also, this isn't "one day" software - you have one day to install and activate it, yes, but you have as long as your operating system lives to use this program.

Sugarsweet (#7) - You can download your Hotmail e-mails using any e-mail client; OE has it built-in, other clients can use a program like Hotmail Popper. For Yahoo, you can enable the POP option in your mail options; If not, you can use a program like YahooPOPs.
After that, backing up depends on your mail client and your backup software. Today's Giveaway claims to directly support OE, so you shouldn't have any trouble there.

BladedThoth (#77) - Why the splitting couldn't be used to get over the 4GB limit... either because ZIP can't do that anyway (I don't know if the limit applies across splits), or because ZIP actually can't split it intelligently (Last I've seen, ZIP wasn't smart enough to split archives at an arbitrary amount, it always had to go to a new media/disk, unlike RAR).

Mary Coon (#81) - Because it works for them, obviously. Try the mirror?

Marilyn Bradley (#119) - Did you read the readme?

Jack Boyce (#120) - Don't worry about it too much; People will eventually think of keeping their names and serials (most About windows show them, after all). However, once they reinstall from a crash or what-have-you, they'll find out <em>why</em> it's not that simple... when they're told those serials are no longer valid. :&gt;

Sam Hell (#121) - You can probably have both installed, but you might as well only have this one as it's newer and it's essentially the same program anyway.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'm never one to knock free stuff, and I think it's fantastic that someone from the actual company is taking time to field questions and offer answers.
However, from my own (painful and time-consuming) experience I've learnt that if there's one piece of software that any computer user should be prepared to pay for, it is a solid and easy-to-use backup program. 
When Vista is no longer a Beta product I might consider buying a copy and using the built-in backup features. Until then (and probably even after then) I will continue to use the absolute best program for all my backup needs...Acronis' True Image.
And, no, I don't work for them, don't get free copies, have no dog in the fight whatsoever. I just know that it works, does everything you could want it to do and then some, is extremely user-friendly and intuitive, and gives you total control over everything from recovering a single file to incremental backups to making a complete clone of your hard drive(s) for reinstallation/upgrade.
As I said, props to any company that give up their wares for nothing AND takes the time to respond to questions with answers.
However, the $40 I spent on True Image has been the best cashola I ever put into ANY computing hardware or software. Trust me, when it all goes wrong (and it will, especially if you like to "tinker" or install and uninstall software) you want the quickest, easiest solution to status quo available. I have been back up and running in less than 15 mins (from an external USB SATA drive) on a HD with 20 gigs of OS/apps/vids/mp3s/photos etc. as if nothing had ever happened. Warm and comfy feeling indeed.
Just my 2 cents' worth. 
Thanks GOTD for the continued service.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Cheryl, the rep probably didn't answer because your question was already answered:
Your backups are always available, <em>regardless</em> of whether or not the license is only for a year. If you don't believe me, you just have to reread some of the posts here.]]></description>
