Abysmal product support and DR that doesn't work
Scott_NCDecember 12, 2013
Pros
Easy to buy and install
Cons
Disaster Recovery doesn't work and there's no other way to recover system files leaving you to reinstall everything again. Ummm... what is this product for again? Trying to reach support brings up a web page that qualifies for one of the most non-professional sites I've seen in a long time. Marking your need "Emergency" does nothing -- I've waited for 2 days and still haven't received a response. Pathetic.
Summary
Don't buy it! I'm now looking for a company that actually supports its products...
Way too expensive.
chouxOctober 22, 2012
Pros
Not so much.
Cons
If you want it to work you have to pay every four months on top of the initial buy.
Summary
I have a completely full hard drive of things I wanted and things I didn't but now can't access anything because I didn't want to pay for an upgrade every four months. Every four months! I paid for the first two then when the tri-yearly came along, balked. It stopped working, support stopped supporting, I had to take off the version I went back to, it kept crashing my machine. So now I have a full external hard drive and a handful of money I could have put to much better use. I'm still amazed CNET advertises this.
Looks promising but keeps crashing, not reliable!
LeDubJuly 25, 2012
Pros
Quite easy to set up nice interface shows with dot what files are backed up(green) and what files not(red) responsive customer service
Cons
The program gets stuck with one file an keeps trying to back it up. The backup then pauses and wont work anymore, and then crashes. The worst thing that you don't get any warning that it stopped backing up. Its continues backup and you trust that it is working, I don't want to have to check every hour(?)if the program is still working.
Summary
Potentially a good program, but not reliable at all. I don't want to think about the moment I need a backed up file, to discover that the last backup was 3 days ago.
Good concept, but the software misses it's target goals
svenvandeveldeApril 27, 2012
Pros
It DOES perform a timeline backup. Backup DOES work without much disturbance. It's concept allows for simplicity and user friendliness. Genie provides good end-user support. Nice user interface.
Cons
It is a very dangerous tool. It does not a good job, due to the following reasons: - When you have multiple users on the same PC, it will only perform a backup of the files of the user the backup is installed for. - Intelligent backup is dangerous. It will only backup the files with the extensions you request. The list of extensions is not complete. - As a result, it consumes your backup drive space with files you don't want. Intelligent backup works for ALL your connected drives, even the xTB drives which you don't want to have included. - There is an 'exclude from backup' function in the tool, but it is hidden, not user friendly. - Recover sometimes fails for a number of files without reason. The tool crashes when recovering, and you have to restart. - The "system recovery" option does not do a good job, and it is VERY SLOW. - Files are spread out over the backup library between the "intelligent backup", and the "selective backup". Confusing
Summary
I am a registered user for 2 years, and have purchased 3 licenses. I would advise to consider very well the cons when doing a backup.
Watch out if you already paid for the Home 2.0 version
sbootmanApril 14, 2012
Pros
* Fairly easy install. * Database conversion from Home 2.0 to 2012 took awhile but executed okay.
Cons
* Slowed down my aging XP considerably. * Couldn't prove it, but seemed to the source of occasional crashes, both the Home 2.0 version and the 2012 version. * After downloading & installing the 2012 version, Genie wanted to pick my pocket for the pleasure of the "upgrade". Nothing on CNET indicated the differential cost of moving to 2012 for previous ownerns of Home 2.0 * Not sure how (or if?) I can downgrade / retro back to Home 2.0 if I don't want to pay for the upgrade to 2012.
Summary
Be careful about downloading the newest version of Genie's products. Without advising you they will want you to pay for the new version even if you purchased the Home 2.0 version.
Reliable continuous backup
tobycat3September 10, 2011
Pros
Provides continuous backup of selected folders, email etc.
Cons
None that I have found
Summary
I have used the home version for several years and enjoy the confidence it provides.
Closest thing to Time Machine on the PC
cazzzacApril 30, 2011
Pros
Easy interface, set and forget, reliable backups
Cons
slows down start-up time, though backups use minimal resources themselves
Summary
worth it over windows 7 backup - significantly faster and more options.
I didn't use this, Mozy offered more of what I want
