About a year ago, I spent a great deal of time researching the internet and
reading many reviews, to select a good, reliable , backup utility. After
much effort and reading, I selected Genie Backup Program. Although it has
the features that I love and has a pretty intuitive interface, I find it to
be unreliable and flakey.
My OS is Windows ME.
The main features that I want are :
1. Can write to CD.
2. Can automate on a pre-set schedule.
3. Stable, and reliable.
4. Practical and intuitive interface.
5. Easy backup restore process and interface.
6. Easy selection of folders and items for backup.
-------------------------------------------------
Compression or encryption are not needed. Also, I never need more backups
that what will fit on one CD. I guess my needs boil down to reliability
and intuitive interface, as well as automation if possible in the same
package.
When I started out looking for an acceptable product a year ago, I thought
that it would be simple to find a very good product for my limited backup
needs. I don't feel the same way now, after reading glowing reviews about
Genie Backup Program and then using it for a year.
I hope this is posted in the right groups. If better or more proper groups
exist, I would appreciate direction to them.
Thank you very much for any helpful input on this !!!
