Easy Data Backup 1

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This simple archiving tool is easy to use, but it has a tendency to crash while backing up files. Easy Data Backup's functional interface is nothing special, although even beginners will find it easy to use. You start by creating a profile, specifying the folders you want to back up, and the destination for the backup files. You can schedule the backup process on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. In our tests, Easy Data Backup worked well when backing up smaller profiles but tended to crash when processing larger batches. In some instances, the program crashed simply trying to open test profiles. Even when the program worked, we found that Easy Data Backup didn't compress files when it created an archive, so our backups could potentially have eaten up a lot of space. The demo version limits you to 10 backups. Though anyone could use Easy Data Backup, we can't call it the perfect backup utility.

Publisher's description

From Word Power :

Easy data backup is the easiest way to archive your valuable data. The program allows you to setup numerous backup 'profiles' where you tell the program the source directory containing the files and folders that you wish to backup, and the destination directory where you would like the data to be copied to. The backup is fully automatic, and you can tell the program to archive the data daily, weekly, or monthly, at any time of the day you choose. For example, you can backup your entire 'My Documents' folder daily at 3AM to another directory on your hard drive (or another hard drive installed in your system).
