Summary: Don't Waste Your Time or Money
Review: Don't waste your time or money on this crummy little program. Here are some of its many shortcomings: 1. There are NO instructions, and NO HELP FILES, (your only recourse is to navigate the hard-to-use Veritas web site) 2. It does not remember what files you backed-up, so you have to go through the laborious process of selecting what files to back-up EACH TIME you use the program), 3. There is no way to back-up only those files that have recently changed (incremental); this makes it impractical to use as a daily backup. 4. You have no control over compression, 5. Technical Support at Veritas is pay-as-you-go. 6. There is no way to display what files you have backed-up. This program makes clunky old Microsoft Backup look like a jewel.

Summary: Simple, but easy.
Review: I liked the way it installed on Windows ME. It seemed to put my files on the cd so it is easy to backup when needed.

Summary: WARNING -
Review: This product does NOT allow you to transfer the system back-up from one hard-drive to another (you will get an error message when you try). If you buy a Hewlett-Packard burner with this back-up software because you have to replace a bad hard-drive on a lap-top (as I did), you're in for a very unpleasant surprise. The manufacturer doesn't trumpet this limitation, and even the people over at HP tech seemed unaware of it. Brilliant. And, by the way the overall documentation provided by these people really is shameful, even by this industry's abysmal standards.

Summary: VERITAS® Simple Backup v2.2
Review: VERITAS® Simple Backup v2.2 is easy to use. Anyone can use it for the safekeeping of valuable computer data. It allows data protection for non-technical users who want fast, simple and reliable backups of their data. Simple Backup is specifically designed for CD-R/CD-RW on Windows 95/98/ Millennium. It is not expensive. ... It is easy to use. Software compression allows you to store more data - up to twice the capacity - on your CD-R/CD-RW disk. Custom Backup & Restore allows you to select the files to protect - all of your files or just your selected files. I'm using it.
