Final Words
Winbackup is simplicity itself, with a very intuitive and uncomplicated user interface. The directory tree and tick boxes make setting up a backup job up very quick, and with the scheduling handling your backups in the background (even when the program isn't running), this is very much a 'set and forget' program.
Restoration is just as easy, and being able to restore individual files from a backup makes it very versatile in its use. Up to 256bit Encryption is supported, so you can hide all your pr0n & er & important files from the sig other safe in the knowledge that they wont be able to get at those files (unless your one of these people who insist on having ONE password for EVERYTHING and EVERYONE knows what it is).
Both Corporate and Home User's will like the ability to be able to backup to pretty much any device that can store files, and there is even an integrated CD/DVD burning, as well as the possibility to backup to a network drive. The program is tiny, taking up less than 3meg with help files included and is fast, both in user to program as well as the program functions themselves.
Basically, it does exactly what it says on the tin with the minimum of fuss and hassle. I couldn't find any thing to moan about at all, it plain and simple works. Big thanks to for supplying the review sample.
