CNET Editors' review
This simple freeware application makes backing up files a no-brainer, but it doesn't really go beyond its primary job. Copy Muppy's no-frills interface allows users to quickly browse and select folders to back up, and choose a destination directory. You can use filters to specify which files to back up, but that's the extent of Copy Muppy's extras. It doesn't include a scheduler, or encrypt or compress backup files, features that are fairly common in the class, even in some other freeware applications. All things considered, novices and casual users might like this straightforward utility, but it probably doesn't have the feature set for more advanced users.

"Did Not Work For Me"
Version: Copy Muppy 1.0 build 8
Pros
It's good that it makes a list first of things to copy
Cons
It failed to copy the source directory tree accurately, even tho I specified copy subfolders.
As far as I'm concerned, it's broken.
I can't use this to copy a folder that has sub-folders.

"Copy Muppy software allows for selected file back-up in just a few easy steps."
Version: Copy Muppy 1.0 build 8
Pros
I have files (such as my original documents and downloaded desktop enhancements) that I want to save just as they are and not as a part of a condensed file. Copy Muppy lets me save only the files I've selected to only the places I want them to reside. Wonderful idea.
Cons
The only drawback is that the back-up files you create don't have to be sent to an external drive.

"Very Simple - love the price"
Version: Copy Muppy 1.0 build 8
Pros
I use this every week to supplement my image created by Norton. The software does exactly what I want it to do.
Cons
The terminology is a little off. Took me a little to understand how to use the .bak file. But really no big cons.

"So far simple to use... but do not wrok for Asian file names."
Version: Copy Muppy 1.0 build 8
Pros
So far it is simple to use. At list I get MOST of my files copied automatically. This ease some restore work if my Harddisk fails.
Cons
However, it cannot handle file names with Asian characters. Not very good for someone in Asia like me who prefer having file names in our native language.

"Excellent other than user interface a little confusing"
Version: Copy Muppy 1.0 build 8
Pros
Fast fast fast. Once you figure out the slightly confusing user interface to set up copies, it really moves, and does not have problems where e.g. Microsoft's XCOPY and Explorer copy function fail. At the end it gives a report and offers to save the report to text, showing any problems it encountered during the copy.
Cons
The interface for selecting what to copy and where to put it is not entirely intuitive, but this is a very minor flaw.

"Stable and Good design"
Version: Copy Muppy 1.0 build 8
Pros
Great design, does not stuff files into a .bak file. Straight copying from one place to another. Command line functions.
Cons
Count have a few more command line options.
