Publisher's description
From Willow Creek Software :Backup Made Simple is the EASIEST way to back up your computer to another hard drive, across a network, or anywhere else. The Backup Plan Wizard will help you identify what to save, and then set up the program to do it. You can back up the entire computer, or whatever folders and files you wish. Your choices are saved as a Backup Plan, so you can make the same backup again whenever you like without designing it all over again. It is very similar to its cousin Backup To DVD/CD, and will also write DVD's and CD's, but is optimized for small capacity media by using compression. For added convenience Backup Made Simple will add new subfolders and files to your Backup Plan automatically, and it will even adapt automatically when you rename things. Without compromising ease of use, the software is also chock full of useful features like scheduling, backup logging, and more.
Version 5.1.145 includes full support for very long folder and file names.
What's new in this version:
- Complete support for folder and file names longer than 64 characters.

Version: Backup Made Simple 5.1.145
Pros: I have a notoriously bad time with new software, but using this was all sweetness and light. The program has several ways to design a backup, i.e. decide what you want to save and then figure out where that stuff is on your hard drive, including a really slick "Backup Plan Wizard". And to cap an already positive experience, it burned a 2 disc backup without any hassles at all on a DVD burner that has been notorious for compatibility problems in the past. How do I know it burned the discs okay? Because the software has a "check backup" option that does sort of a "trial restore" to read the discs and make sure they are okay without actually restoring the data on them.

Version: Backup Made Simple 5.1.145
Pros: Installed quickly and easily. Figured out how to make a backup in a few minutes, and had a 3 DVD backup in about an hour all told.

Version: Backup Made Simple 5.1.145
Pros: Setup is very straightforward: Telling it what to back up couldn't be easier, and then you just "go". Other features I find useful are "check backup", which lets me verify an old backup is still usable, and being able to back up only files I've changed since some date or since the last backup.

Version: Backup Made Simple 5.1.145
Pros: Very good at selecting folders and files to back up. Lets you pick with an Explorer-like interface, or use a Wizard to build a variety of different kinds of backups. I like the way it does backups of recently modified files. Very good help file. I've used successfully on 3 different DVD writers.
