Autosave Backup Software (No Tapes)

Summary: Not all media!
Review: I bought this product with the intent of using it to backup my files to my HP CD writer. No where does it indicate that this is not recommended. Now that I am using it, I find my computer constantly locking up or slowing down. Then it cannot save some files, even though I have excluded them from the backup, it still tries to back them up and every 2 minutes I get 2 error messages indicating that these files cannot be backed up. It is totally frustrating. If you plan to use this with a CD Write, think again.

Summary: AutoSave is a real savior!
Review: I have been in the computer business for over ten years and backing up my data is one of the most important things I do every day. My first line of thought is to use a tape backup, but what if you don't have one? What if like myself all you have is a zip drive, then what? V Communications may have your answer.

AutoSave is small but highly effective backup tool that provides you with an opportunity to save yourself major headaches in the event of a system crash. This easy to install and configure application is well worth the money you'll spend.

The users manual is small but gives you just about everything you'll need to know in order to be up and running in no time, my installation time was just over five minutes. The application has two outstanding features, first the ActiveBack, which allows you to back up files while you are working on them.

Secondly, AutoSave works with just about any device, from tape backups to Zip, Jaz and LSL drives. AutoSave is fully Windows 95 & 98 as well as network compatible. V-Communications has made data backup a real snap with AutoSave.
