Summary: Backup Now Delux download version
Review: This product did what it said it would do. In my case I backed up 4G drive, and a 1G drive; then restored the 1G drive. Everything completed successfully without glitches or abends. Have to admit however the product is not a speed demon.

Summary: This product really does NOT WORK with XP
Review: This product seems to work fine on Windows XP as far as performing a backup goes. But, if you have a drive failure, or want to restore a selected file - forget it. It does not work when you try to restore.

Summary: A Must
Review: This program just saved my wife in a HUGE way. I've been using computers for quite a while, and never had a problem with lost files. This past January my wife started her masters degree, and we decided to install Backup Now. Sure enough, last Thursday my hard drive got fried. I ended up having to buy a new hard drive, but all of our data was saved on CD-ROM. The program includes a scheduler to backup your system on a regular basis to CD-ROM. It is smart enough to only backup files that were created or changed since the last backup. I'm running this on XP with no problems. The criticism about it not creating an XP emergency disk below is true, but the XP install disk serves that purpose. 99.9% of the value of this program is in backing up key data on a regular basis, not creating a emergency boot disk. This kind of program is really only necessary for people who have critical data on their PC that changes regularly. If you just keep your resume and some old tax files on there, just back them up yourself whenever you think of it. If you have critical data that changes regularly, buy this program. In addition, a good anti-virus program like Norton and a program called GoBack are highly recommended.
