Simple, not enough functionality for me

Pros
Quick to install, & ready to use. Simple, small size.
Cons
Not much functionality
Summary
I opened it & decided to go with Cobian Backup instead which has a host of features. For simple straight task this looked perfectly good. I didn't try it out.
Simple and effective. it does what it says on the tin.

Pros
Simple and effective and (once figured out) very easy to use.
Cons
It is not obvious from the program how to add folders etc. ? if like me you don't do manuals it could take you a while (as it did me) to figure out how it works (right click in the big white box under options).
Summary
Select what you want to back up and select where you want to back it up to. There are a handful of useful options like creating a dated folder for each back up etc but that is it, no bells, no whistles, it cant sing or dance, it just does what it says on the tin. It copies the files you select to where you tell it to. Simple and effective ? GREAT!
