Version: Simply Safe Backup 2005.0.1.706
"Some things are working, some won't..."
Pros: Actually, this software is fast and if working, it's quite good. You can read some messages which will alert you that the software may not be perfect. After i used the software i think it was a good idea (but maybe a checkbox would be nice). It's the free version and it should work with mysql databases (which i couldn't test cause of connection errors, but this can be personal problem). The uninstaller is fast.
Cons: update.exe xxx data/0 bytes. I guess it should show some numbers instead of the zero. Also, important informations installer window is empty.
It shouldn't go to check updates right at start, unless i decided to do so.
The "thanks for using" window's text have missing words (after first update).
The update is not efficent: too big downloads!
2005.0.1.730 told me there's a new version, however, this version remains the same. 06-13-2005 update is the only message, quite annoying, it can be an updater bug.
License Agreement is about 2004, even if installer got 2005.0.
I couldn't stop duplicate file finder after i've clicked the Run now... button. It's also a bugy thing, cause building file list for c:\directory\.\.\... and so on ..\. isn't a wise choice (and it will eat up your memory).
The software itself can't see directories, which are hidden (by the operating system). To backup the outlook .dbx mailboxes, i must first create an access to directory as i can't type in the full path, which would make my work easier.
I'm not quite sure that the ftp authorize process works well, i would need someone else opinion on this (this can be a personal experience).
The start menu hasn't got uninstaller link, too bad.

Version: Simply Safe Backup 2005.0.1.706
"Feature Rich with major oversigt"
Pros: it has , FTP backup feature, Compress and encrypt. nice.
Cons: This software cant remember FTP settings and popes up EVERY FRIGIN time i start it. also it doesn't know what version it is. it Pops up message EVERY TIME you start offering you to download update. so to start using it you go thru 2 popups EVERY time. now you decide if ou can handle the pressure.

Version: Simply Safe Backup 2005.0.1.706
Pros: lot of options are nice if the soft actually worked
Cons: I was not able to FTP backup one folder with with about 25 files. neither with encryption nor without. it aborts halfway, reporting undefined error...
I tried both native archive setting and zip setting. it kept popping up select drive spliting whatever and untill I chose the option it didnt even start backing up. but unfortunately it still doesnt backup on FTP. program looks like 1995 design, which is fine if it worked... ill be looking for something else.
