GRBackPro Professional Backup for Windows

User Reviews

• Outstanding program - easy to use and very complete

  drdcaMay 10, 2011

  Pros

  Backups can be scheduled, empty (and/or any specified folders) can be skipped, includes registry backup. Has wizard mode to guide user easily. Zip Compression level can be adjusted. Excellent email tech support, frequent updates. Simple but powerful.

  Cons

  Interface can appear complex, but wizard mode makes it easy. Needs to have both "basic user" and "advanced user" modes.

  Summary

  GrBackPro doesn't try to look like every other program, just does what a good backup should, which is to back up everything on your drive(s). This program has so many options that it's almost essential for a new user to use the Wizard mode! The scheduler will do multiple backups and deal with timing conflicts without fuss. There is a 30 day free trial mode, with most features available (some limitations, e.g. number of jobs permitted). The scheduler can be completely disabled with one button, in which case all other buttons are faded out to make it obvious that it's not running. All in all, a most satisfactory program with all the options and features one could look for in a backup program.

• A REALLY good backup program - but not for dummies.

  December 29, 2010

  Pros

  The speed of this backup program is amazing - far faster than file copying or any other backup program I've used. You truly can pick and choose what you want to backup and to where - in zipped (compressed) or actual copy format.

  Cons

  In order to skip a file or folder, one must type the file/folder name. There is no tree available to check off the items you want to skip. Given the other "pros" of the program, I consider this to be a minor "con".

  Summary

  This is NOT a program for computer dummies or impatient users. However, if you are serious about accurate (and fast) backups, this program is great. Yes, as the CNET editors' review suggests, there are a lot of options to consider in setting up the first sessions. However, these options give the user a LOT of flexibility. - - Most importantly, you can do incremental backups (which will copy over top of changed files AND will copy all new files), or better yet, you can do differential backups using the "Archive bit logic". I did a differential backup in a separate destination folder, and I was able to keep the older versions of my files as well as the newer versions.
