"Pretty much works as Advertised!!!"
Version: FBackup 4.6.260
Pros
Backups my whole system weekly just great. Also backs up my documents, music, and pictures perfectly.
Cons
The backups don't always run as scheduled. Save the backup job and run it manually. Works better than most and no need for program to restore. Just extract or unzip. Windows XP, Vista, and 7 all hve extract capability built in.
Summary
Works better than most and no need for program to restore. Backups my whole system weekly into zip file just great. Also backs up my documents, music, and pictures perfectly. Just extract or unzip. Windows XP, Vista, and 7 all have extract capability built in. Also Free programs work. FBackup also has a Restore Function that is faster.

"Works Great as Advertised"
Version: FBackup 4.6.259
Pros
Does what it says it does. A free full version of the product. It can be scheduled, and you can even change the icon.
Cons
It does not save an icon to your desktop. You must create a short cut. Easily done. Changing the icon to one of my designation was difficult to do because not all gif's, and jpeg's can be saved as icons. Leave the backups unencrypted. I put in the password to encrypt and then it would not take the password later.
Summary
Easy to use and you can set it and forget it. Easier than EaseUs To Do Backup, which offers different kinds of backups. If you create the wrong kind (not incremental or differential) it will not be accessible. To Do also requires Boot PE to restore to a different computer like if the store exchanges your damaged computer. This was easy. Makes mirror copy of Personal Files and weekly updates or do a Full Backup each week. I back up my Files and my entire system every week.

"Programme Works, Scheduler Doesn't"
Version: FBackup 4.6.255
Pros
Easy to configure, clear and attractive interface, manual backups work a treat.
Cons
Interface slow as a slug (Athlon XP3200+ 1GB RAM). Setup process for scheduler is a never-ending loop (programme asks for password) and non-working scheduler (which runs in the background) causes 100% CPU spike lasting 1sec twice a minute - duuh!)
Summary
Almost there, but not usable for me (I need a working scheduler)
Running Windows XP SP3 fully updated.

"Great Back-up Software!"
Version: FBackup 4.6.253
Pros
I get to stop using the standard Windows back up software. Easy to use.
Cons
None that I've found.
Summary
I'm not an expert nor do I have a lot of time to devote to learning the details of running and maintaining back-ups. But that doesn't make backing up any less important (consider this my rant of the importance of back-ups).
Even though I haven't had any catastrophic computer failure yet, I still know how possible it is. Still I don't have to wait for a catastrophe in order to loose data.
FBackup handles the job well and puts me at ease that all my data is safe in case the inevitable occurs... -
