It's good to have a reliable program to watch your back. File Backup Watcher is well-designed and easy to use, with just the right amount of functions and flexibility for the nervous sysadmin or small business. Installation is a snap; the program's interface is stylish and drawn in 3D. A step-by-step wizard (called Profile) walks you through setting up a backup procedure. You can schedule backups as often as needed, and choose a manual or automatic (or grades thereof) start. File Backup Watcher also includes a burner so you can instantly record data onto a CD or DVD. Another nice feature includes the option to change the program language (to your native tongue) as well as to change the look and feel of the program window. Overall, File Backup Watcher is a quality program that eliminates trouble in the backup process.

  "Stated free but not free"

  by Kataro on March 29, 2006

  Pros: Very nice interface. Nice to use. Not use too much resources while backup. Can schedule backup.

  Cons: The only thing is it is a trial ware, not free. Can only use for 15 days. It have limitation, that is cannot working after 15 days if not register (purchase). It should write there clear...

  "I guess it would be a great tool to have."

  by #1PCpro on July 14, 2006

  Pros: The plus about it is you can burn to CD or DVD. That in it self is a god thing.

  Cons: What I don't like is alot of software on this site, like this one, is put in the "FREE" catagory when in fact nothing about it is free. People are misslead and end up wasting their time with worthless trial downloads that don't function like they're expecting it to. If it says "FREE" it needs to be free and fully functional.

  "Not what it claims"

  by khamma on February 24, 2007

  Pros: Very good looking. Probably OK for backing up to CDs, DVDs.

  Cons: Very confusing. There are 3 versions of this product. This version, the $40.00 one, did not have an option to back up to a hard drive even though it claimed to have. The program's status bar proclaims itself the Professional Edition. No help file is available except on line and it doesn't tell you how to use it. Not what I was looking for at all. Way to much $$ for a minimal application.
