BakBot 3.00.24

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Ask anybody who's ever lost data: it's impossible to overstate just how important it is to back up important files. BakBot proves to be a reliable way of doing just this, with the ability to schedule system backups as frequently as once a day. Once complete, the program can then send an e-mail that details any errors or updates. The application comes complete with a set of backup templates, helping choose which files need to be saved, and can secure archives with 256-bit encryption. The program will even happily back up the PC's Registry. During testing we noticed that although BackBot can be set to run in the background, it will need to be updated every once in a while as system settings change, or it won't work properly. We especially like that we could check the status of recent backups online. Overall, if you can live with one backup a day or less, BakBot makes a quality pick.
