Best CDP Backup program out there
NathanDuberAugust 14, 2012
Pros
File Versioning is outstanding. Backup is in file native format so that you won't need the software to restore from. I have tried to brake this software and it will fix it. Meaning I deleted a file from the backup location (Viruses or accidently deleting this could happen) Other CDPs (Genie Timeline 2012 won't catch this and there support team don't even reconize this issue) I have compared both Genie Timeline and Oops and I prefer and trust Oops because of the always catching deleted files from backup. I have tested and retested numerous CDP Softwares and Oops is the best, trust me. Plus you will need Genie Timeline installed to restore files. I have tested the following software: Genie Timeline 2012, Acronis True Image Home 2012 (nonStop), Easeus Todo 5.0, Norton Ghost 15, Genie Backup Manager 9, Paragon, Macrium Reflect, and some others. For file level backups Altaro Oops Backup is the best. I still use Acronis True Image for Image backups though.
Cons
The restore interface is a bit annoying to use, but for searching for a file is great! The only other thing is that trying to run a second version of the backup to a NAS location is super slow and won't work for me. (I have over 270GB of data to backup)
Summary
This is the best overall file level backup utility. It is a little older but has been proven to work and no bugs like the other softwares that get released every year, and besides who wants to re-purchase software every year? You just want reliable software that just works and Oops backup is the one. Plus it does work on Windows 8 for future reference. For a file level backup utility with CDP this just works and you can trust it. I am a software developer for an aerospace company and I trust this software for our companies data.
I love it - really do
DrStone7December 22, 2011
Pros
Very happy with the tool, has done excellent job keeping all 3 of my systems backed up over LAN. Quick and through with a small foot print.
Cons
Only issue I have found is the automatic backup can cause some games to crash if it is backing up the save directory as the game writes to it.
Summary
Best I have used, and I have used several.
Easy to use, nice interface, outstanding support
FredVanBrandNovember 18, 2011
Pros
Userinterface is easy and well designed. Setting up you backup ist done very quick. It works like time machine on a mac. Latest backup version always available as simple filesystem. No need to install any software in case of an emergency restore. Just copy from the backup device. I had a specific question regarding AutoStart and got an outstanding friendly and - kind of lightspeed - quick response from the support team.
Cons
Nothing really to complain if you use it for your Home PC or small business.
Summary
I liked it right from the beginning and don't want to miss it in the future :) Great tool!
In a class of its own
vwamenelOctober 22, 2011
Pros
The program does exactly what it's supposed to do: make backups of your data without you thinking about the backups. The interface is so well thought that you'll find yourself reading information you didn't even know would be useful to you. Oops came in handy a few times, including helping me recover torrent files status in uTorrent otherwise, I would have had to reload 300+ torrents. I've also recovered application data - configuration, emails, etc. Truly perfect piece of software. Don't ever bother trying other "solutions". There's no way I'm setting up a personal laptop or desktop PC without this program. It's unobtrusive and efficient at doing the backups and it doesn't get in the way when I need to retrieve files; it actually helps. Moreover, the support is excellent. The other reviews and ratings seem to tell my experience isn't unique.
Cons
None that I've experienced.
Summary
Excellent, flexible, easy to use, great support

Summary
Does exactly what you need it to do, and available at a good price
Nice interface, easy to use.

Pros
Simple to understand, customizable backup frequency and content.
Cons
I have not encountered any downsides to the program as of yet, except for it freezing once when my backup drive wasn't plugged in.
Summary
Superb piece of software, coud'nt ask more.
marie-heleneMarch 24, 2011
Pros
Very efficient sofware, backup every version of every file. It permit to recover lost documents, pics or datas, even if destroyed or written over. A must for everyone working with Microsoft office. Take very few ressource.
Cons
My only point : At this price, licences should be more generous on update and upgrades (only one year, rather than unlimited as GoodSync and most competition).
Summary
Working with Word, and loosing oftendocuments (Microsoft backup option are lousy and unreliable) I was loooking at Oops for a while. The trial offer just made me fall for it. The software is very reliable, very intuitive, a cinch to install and set, and it accept special option for special file or folder very easily. All versions of all documents (if choosen) are kept, so if you distroy, rewrite ou scrap something, you always have to option to get back the clock and get the latest version, or an older one at your choice. I tried it a lot, and was very satisfied. Furtherwore, it work smootly in the background, and take very few ressource.
EXCELLENT & RELIABLE BACK-UP SOFTWARE
anthonydowdenJanuary 30, 2011
Pros
Specify exactly what you want backed up. Works in the background using very little system resources. Support if you need it is speedy and efficient. Resaonably priced.
Cons
None that I can think of.
Summary
One of the main benefits of this programme for me is that I can easily specify exactly what I want backed up, how often I want it backed up and how long I want to keep backups for. It is all easily handled in a clear user interface. I am backing up to an external hard drive but the programme will back up to CDs and DVDs as well. My previous backup programme was supposed to back up everything you could ever need. I couldn't believe it when my computer packed up and I found that the Programme Data folder was not being backed up. Some of the data I lost I will never be able to recover and I was bitterly disappointed with it. I would suggest that if you puirchase a drive with backup software included you make sure that it is definitely backing up all that you want it to, don't take their word for it. With this software I can see what is being backed up easily. I love having full control over the backup. I have contacted support a couple of times and they were so quick and helpful it was almost unbelievable. In fact the first time I contacted them I was only using a trial version of the programme and didn't expect too much in the way of support. When they got back to me almost straight away I decided there and then to purchase and did so a couple of days later. I think that OopsBackup will turn out to be the purchase of the year for me.
Do not open up the directory tree of the hard drive
hotipDecember 15, 2010
Pros
No comment. Simply abandon to use.
Cons
It does not all opening up of the directory tree on a hard drive. That means you have to backup an entire drive and cannot specify which directory or directories you want to backup.
Summary
Time machine for windows, easy to use, great support
bjornfjAugust 10, 2010
Pros
The best backup program I´ve seen Almost as good as Mac´s Time machine Altaro has the best support-team you can find
Cons
No UNC network support in this release Comes in 3.0, release in august 2010
Summary
I like it because it is the only windows alternative available which works and feels like Time Machine Friendly user interface, a bit Mac´ish I would say I feel that my files and backups are secure And the support they are giving is fast, friendly and competent Top rating
