Workgroup Backup for Windows

User Reviews

• Excellent simple freebie for network backup

  internetwizard11/2/2005

  Pros

  Easy and intuitive configuration, perfect for small (>24 computers) server-based networks or peer-to-peer networks. Allows backup over network shares and it's FREE!

  Cons

  You need to know all the details of your network when setting it up, it doesn't autodetect for you... but hey, it's FREE!!

• Take the time to set it up correctly and it's excellent

  Pros

  Actually copies the selected files to another location rather than creating a 'backup set' - means backed up files are accessible immediately.

  Cons

  Scheduling procedure is not very clearly explained

• Could be good, but no updates

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  The program is easy to use and has a decent user interface. I'm pretty sure it's the best free backup software out there. Unfortunately it crashes on XP SP2. A lot. The real kicker is that if you go to the website to check for updates, you'll find that it doesn't exist. Try it though: you might have better luck than me.

  Summary

  I recently installed this program and so far it works perfect... Its very simple and small. Doesn't have lots of extra features but it worth the shot if you want a simple free backup program.

  Summary

  This may be an excellent program (as the summary suggests) but it's impossible to tell. The install process fails upon asking to insert the disk containing a file apparently not included in the download! I'd love to try it when the distributor fixes that.
