Developer’s Description

By Willow Creek Software

Back up your critical information to DVDs, CDs, and USB flash drives with this easy to use program.

Backup To DVD/CD/Flash protects you from losing all the irreplaceable information on your computer if something bad happens. It can quickly restore your valuable information if there is an accident or equipment failure, even if you lose your entire computer. To further protect you, Backup To DVD/CD/Flash allows you to check your backup discs at any time to make sure they are still restorable no matter how old they are or what might have happened to the backup discs since you made them. For further safety, you don't even need to have the backup program installed on a computer to restore from the backups--unless you choose otherwise, everything can be copied off the backup using Windows Explorer. This means you can still recover your data even if you have to replace your entire computer, and you've lost your download file to install Backup To DVD/CD/Flash from.

In addition to being safe, Backup To DVD/CD/Flash is also very flexible. It does multi-disc backups, splits and compresses big files, and makes incremental backups containing only recently modified files. It can also create a log file on your computer for each backup it does, with full details of what was saved to that backup. Backups can be fully automated and scheduled, so they're easy enough to do every day if you want. It can even synchronize the contents of selected folders between two computers, finding and copying changes made on one computer to the other. You choose what to back up by creating a Backup Plan, and using a simple Windows Explorer-like interface to select the folders and files you want to save. If you aren't sure what needs to be backed up on your computer, use our Wizard to create a Backup Plan for you by searching your entire computer for folders with the kinds of files you want to save. You don't have to remember where you put things. Backup Plans also adapt automatically when you create, delete, move or rename folders and files, so you don't have to remember to fix them after reorganizing your hard drive. Will make backups to DVD's, CD's, USB flash drives, and other USB connected storage devices.

Good Backup App, but...
Jeff8567April 15, 2010
Pros
It does what it's supposed to and allows you to backup what you want.
Cons
It leaves little 1k files all over your hard drive.
Summary
Does what it's supposed to do, but causes annoying extra files.
Consistently backs up to DVD-Rs, simple, resource lite, good for small business.

Pros
I ran into a situation at a small business that wanted an unattended weekly backup of a share drive on a simple winXp network. Cost was a consideration and they did not want off-site network storage. So I set up Backup to DVD/CD to burn the approx. 1.2GB to a DVD every week. The files are just shared spreadsheets and docs, which only reached 1.2GB after 5 years, so exceeding the storage limit of a DVD-R was not a near term problem. <p>In conclusion, works great and easily automated with win task scheduler. <p>All they have to do is replace the DVD that pops out every week, and an employee takes it home for some level of off-site data security. <p>Good, easy solution for a small business on a budget, <p>and no IT staff to speak of. <p>Works fine with Pioneer DVR-1910LS
Cons
Burned some coasters at 16X and 12X, but that could simply be related to cheap media. Gets consistent burns at 10X. Takes over 20 minutes for 1.2GB at 10X, but just set it up to run after business hours.
Summary
After 30 min it errors off without explanation -funky UI, waste of time

When it opens it tells you the trial has expired. You can't even use it.
Cons
This is garbage. Whoever wrote this should find another job.

Pros
Seems comprehensive
Cons
Couldn't get it to work
Summary
Nice features
DunderheadTinkJanuary 21, 2007
Pros
Good folder selection tools. Uses multiple discs when necessary, without having to know ahead of time if multiple discs will be needed. Selective compression based on file size is quite innovative - since you can't open a compressed file directly in Windows Explorer, it's nice that it only compresses files big enough to make a difference in the size of the backup. Love the option to verify an old backup - don't know why other programs don't do this.
Cons
Summary
Easy to use
iclaudius83December 26, 2006
Pros
I tried several backup programs, but this is the only one that really made sense to me as soon as I started it. It was easy to use, and let me back up what I wanted very easily. It actually has more features than I need right now, like incremental backups, but they don't get in the way of making a simple backup.
Cons
Summary
Great idea
mossyroofgoodDecember 22, 2006
Pros
The way backup plans work in this software is a great idea, because they don't get broken if you move or rename a folder. And the software actually works as advertised!
Cons
Summary
Great because I don't have to think about it

Pros
This program makes it very easy to back up exactly what I want. Easy to understand, easy to find the folders and files you want, easy to incremental or differential backups, easy to do unattended backups, easy to verify your backup is good.
