Editor's review of Simply Safe Backup

Anyone who's ever lost data on a bad hard drive knows the importance of backing up regularly. This download offers a simple, powerful means of preserving data that provides enough features even for power users. The software supports a variety of backup mediums, including tape, CD, DVD, FTP servers, and Zip files. Users can set automatic or unattended backups, analyze a process before starting, and compare files in archives. The tool can stop any services already running on a PC that might interfere. We particularly like the inclusion of explanatory notes near virtually every action that can be performed with the freeware version, a useful feature for novices. With this range of features appealing for anyone from the novice to the advanced user, we would happily recommend the program to almost anyone with backup needs.

  Simply Safe Backup

  Some things are working, some won't...

  by: GezaGabriel on 31-Jul-2007 08:24:15 AM

  Pros: Actually, this software is fast and if working, it's quite good. You can read some messages which will alert you that the software may not be perfect. After i used the software i think it was a good idea (but maybe a checkbox would be nice). It's the free version and it should work with mysql databases (which i couldn't test cause of connection errors, but this can be personal problem). The uninstaller is fast.

  Cons: update.exe xxx data/0 bytes. I guess it should show some numbers instead of the zero. Also, important informations installer window is empty.

  It shouldn't go to check updates right at start, unless i decided to do so.

  The "thanks for using" window's text have missing words (after first update).

  The update is not efficent: too big downloads!

  2005.0.1.730 told me there's a new version, however, this version remains the same. 06-13-2005 update is the only message, quite annoying, it can be an updater bug.

  License Agreement is about 2004, even if installer got 2005.0.

  I couldn't stop duplicate file finder after i've clicked the Run now... button. It's also a bugy thing, cause building file list for c:\directory\.\.\... and so on ..\. isn't a wise choice (and it will eat up your memory).

  The software itself can't see directories, which are hidden (by the operating system). To backup the outlook .dbx mailboxes, i must first create an access to directory as i can't type in the full path, which would make my work easier.

  I'm not quite sure that the ftp authorize process works well, i would need someone else opinion on this (this can be a personal experience).

  The start menu hasn't got uninstaller link, too bad.

  Simply Safe Backup

  doesnt work

  by: Durer on 20-Jun-2007 08:33:29 AM

  Pros: lot of options are nice if the soft actually worked

  Cons: I was not able to FTP backup one folder with with about 25 files. neither with encryption nor without. it aborts halfway, reporting undefined error...

  I tried both native archive setting and zip setting. it kept popping up select drive spliting whatever and untill I chose the option it didnt even start backing up. but unfortunately it still doesnt backup on FTP. program looks like 1995 design, which is fine if it worked... ill be looking for something else.
