<description><![CDATA[follow up to my post that a moderator obviously thought was not worthy
I am still getting emails from genie asking for dashboard pics, seemingly to assist them, in modifying there program
i am starting to believe that gotd is in cahoots with genie re this DUD software promotion

and i am sure this post wont pass the moderators either, fineservice for gotd members, asking for our feedback, then monitoring heavily
obviously the majority are unhappy with this pseudo genie, and gotd dont want to acknowledge ther emistake.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#98 wrote, "... you cannot re-download this free version so you cannot recover unless you buy the thing ..."

No, you can recover any way you want to without the software because the software "merely" makes a mirror image standard copy of your selected files and directories onto the target backup drive, and then you can browse there using Windows Explorer or any other file viewer, including the Microsoft Word File &gt; Open command, or connecting the backup drive to a Mac and exploring, and so on.

However, the software does not make users aware of this standard benefit.

Funny, though, if we're smart enough to use standard tools to browse and restore from our backup, then we're probably smart enough to use standard tools to MAKE our backup!

RoboCopy, XXCopy, XCopy ... even drag and drop!

But, yes, in order to use the [ Restore ] properties of this software, you have to install this software onto your next computer system, the computer you run to after your main computer crashes, then what?

So, agreed, the software SHOULD make an install executable in the root of the backup drive for the express purpose of reinstalling a licensed version of the software on the next computer in order to restore using the intelligence database and tools of the software.

Except for Mo #39 above who never wants or expects to need to be able to restore to another computer after a crash -- so, can anyone explain why Mo backs up at all?  ;-)

This is a fun thread, and I hope Genie9 gets great good insight here for their next product ... which they NEED to make available here at GOTD ASAP!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#82 try reading comments before commenting on them. I said the only way to restore after a crash, on any day except the day of the free down load requires a purchase. If you loose this program for any reason, you cannot re-download this free version so you cannot recover unless you buy the thing!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(withheld? please post xxx) (&amp; I hope Moderator allows another long post – thanx!)

FROM: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/paragon-backup-and-recovery-11-compact/#postcomment (#35)

I’d like to quote our (beloved | hated) (friend | enemy / Italian) Giovanni…

As a FREE ALTERNATIVE, besides cool disk imaging software like MACRIUM REFLECT and/or DRIVE IMAGE XML, I recommend you GFI BACKUP 2011, definitely the BEST FREE BACKUP SOFTWARE available on the market right now (even better than most shareware like today’s giveaway):

http://www.gfi.com/pages/backup-freeware.asp

Screenshots:
http://www.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/GFI-Backup-Home-Edition-Screenshot-129022.html

And for daily automatic backups of your most important files and folders, give this little FREE (portable) GEM a try:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/Daily-backups.shtml

Besides that, for backup purposes, you could also try the freeware “Comodo Time Machine”, which uses a different approach since it quickly restores your PC to an earlier point in time by taking a snapshot of your entire system (including the registry, critical operating system files and user created documents) literally with two mouse clicks:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/Comodo-Time-Machine.shtml

So to backup your files, folder, your entire HD and even your OS there’s no need to pay anything

Ciao
Giovanni

<description><![CDATA[(withheld? please post this re-edit xxx)

For people really interested in command line document backup with the least amount of hassle and resource impact (except for setting up the scheduled tasks and the batch files), two short tips:

1. schedule the task to run when your computer has been idle for XX minutes (you decide:)

2. MOST importantly… Default xcopy(32) has its limits. Try robocopy. Read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy

Again, peace!

<description><![CDATA[(withheld? please post xxx)

I don’t get it… If one could explain?

Today my comment was down to -100. Wauw. I screwed up.

Still, before this GOTD launched, my referenced post had 135 hits. Now it’s over 2000 hits. In 13 hours… 2000 people, knowing what was to be found, were interested in Paragon’s backup system.

Still, I get comments that I’m a spammer, a kiddie that can’t think and judge for himself.

Ok, might be true? Doubt it, but never too old to learn.

So I googled for some Paragon reviews… They all agree it is NOT buggy.

In fact, it is so rock solid, that I use it to create master images. Just don’t burn live to dvd – that’s not smart. Restoration NEVER gives me problems. It just works. Different partition? No probs.

What I hear from today’s giveaway this program is a nice feature to have for Windows systems. Some sort of elaborate system restore specifically for your documents. Many compare it with Apple’s Timeline. I don’t like Apple :P And I don’t like scheduled tasks that just backup my files. Even if it has version support (does it really offer this?), I personally do not need this. As pointed out rightly by others – for just document backup simple cmd batch-scripting will suffice more than nicely. With the least amount of overhead. And when a system crashes – documents are the last thing lost. It’s the OS with all its installed apps that is important. Getting that back up and running – that’s the trick. Today’s giveaway appears not to be able to do this. It’s a program to restore accidental removal of files – not a backup of your system (like Windows System Restore (tries) to do)…

One points out that Paragon’s backup is slow. I don’t really think so. Even on high compression, it backups a complete system in a good hour (depending hardware, hdd speed, cpu usage, other activities). BUT while this is happening I AM USING MY LAPTOP / PC AS USUAL. No nonresponding system sheit. Also, Paragon is even smart enough to remove all ‘garbage’ that’s not needed, which gives for an optimum sized backup. Also, excluding folders is no problem. It’s boot environment (Linux based) is packed with convenient tools to help you out. For beginners and Experts alike – it’s a very good choice and only preference details can convince you not to use it…

So… Moderator… Do you guys check your IP logs when it comes to voting? For even I get paranoid… Comments and voting today really really really seems SCEWED!

(And as you know… I can take a punch – but if anyone WITH KNOWLEDGE can point out what went wrong in my advice today… Me and some others would like to know…)

Signing off while smoking peace pipe…

<description><![CDATA[In all the time I have been using GAOTD (I can't recall exactly how long, but about two years) I have never seen such a "controversial" piece of software.  This alone makes me pause before bothering to give it a place on my hard disk.

As regards the possible "rigging" of votes, in general, I can understand that a comment only updates if you vote on it.  But to see SUCH a change, as I did on some early posts, was truly phenomenal.  One jumped from something like 38 negative to 35 positive!  This was repeated with several comments, though not so big a change -- but still a very unusual polarity shift.  I've not seen such huge swings before, and that's what makes ME suspicious.

So... although it MIGHT be good, I don't think I will invite trouble by installing this programme.]]></description>
