Looking for a PC backup software product?

So what should you look for in a pc backup software product?
Well, for one thing, it should not be complicated to use.
It must be easy to use and have an user-friendly interface. The interface doesn’t necessarily have to be complicated. But it should still be capable to make backup of your hard disk or if you prefer from specific files or folders that you can specify.

It should be able to backup to different types of backup media.
It should be possible to backup to an online source over the Internet.
It should be easy to specify which files or folders you want to backup. Usually these are the files you are working with daily, like the outlook email data base, your document folder and so on.

You must be able to make backup important data from the backup software. It could be any data that is important to you. This can be any data from important business data to game data.

The pc backup program should have a scheduler so that it can perform regular backups unattended.
It should also be equipped with security functions with a encryptions utility so that an exported backup file is unreadable by non authorized persons.
The program should be able to compress the data of the data backup during backup and uncompress during data restoration.

WinBackup is a computer backup software which has received great reviews.
It is a backup software that has a basic but flexible interface.
With it you can make backup to media like CD or DVD, but you cannot backup directly to a tape unit.

NovaBackup is a recommended storage software that can backup to tape unit devices. For more information you should look at their specifications.

None of the above pc backup products can do incremental backup. With incremental backup you store on consecutive backup only the data files or data block which have been changed since the last backup.
Incremental backup is useful when you do regular backup of data disks and you need to save data space and to minimize transfer time. This is most useful with backup to a backup server and when the backup is made to a remote location using the Net.
