Whether your an occasional at home computer user or someone who relies heavily on your computer for business there’s no denying how important it is to back up your vital files regularly. All it takes is a computer virus or a power failure and your data could be lost forever.
While there are many back up programs that you could use I think you might agree that Backup Platinum has quite a few useful features.
Backup Platinum allows you to back up your data to pretty much any type of storage medium meaning you could store your valuable backup data on another computer, a network, an external drive, an FTP server or even a CD or DVD.
Not only that, you can set up regular backups using the program wizard in order to define what is backed up, where it’s backup from, how to back up your data and when those backups should take place.
If you chose to backup your data onto a CD or DVD you can use a rewritable disk. The program can be set up so that any data on the disk is erased prior transferring new backup data. This means that you could set the Backup Platinum program to create a new backup each night and only the latest backup would be on your rewritable CD or DVD.
Backups can be kept small and secure thanks to the programs 128-bit encryption with Blowfish and multichoice ZIP. Also, if you happen to have a lot of data to backup the backup can be split into several parts which would make it easier to transfer your finished backup data elsewhere if needed.
One thing that I like about this program is that it creates detailed logs of all operations and if something goes wrong with your backup you can easily restore with a simple click of a button.
Backup Platinum has been specifically designed to work on Windows operating systems.
If you’d like to try Backup Platinum you can download a limited 30 day trial version. Then if you like the programs features you can purchase the license for a full copy.
I think this is exactly the thing i was looking for. recently i faced a problem with my web host and my website data got deleted form the server. I didnt had the backup and i got in trouble to make the whole site again. I think I should check out this piece of software.
Thank you very much for sharing great idea. Actually i’m searching for good Backup software,here you have provided me a valuable software. I will make use of it.And it works awesome. The only sad thing is here they gave a trial version only.
Good work!!
For a home user, I look at things differently :
Take into account how many drive failures you’ve had in the previous past 3 – 6 – 12 months. This gives a nice and quick rating for the danger you’re living in. Most of the home users have this rating close to 0. Next comes virus or other malware outbreaks, which is also a good ~0 in many cases.
I don’t try to downplay the importance of backing things up, I just want to make it clear that sometimes it’s not as needed as it may seem.
I wish I’d have known about this when I was in college! My computer crashed and I lost everything on it…papers, projects, spreadsheets, etc. Not to mention music files and photos.
the key to recovering files lost when i computer crashes is to look for them as soon as possible. the longer a file is left the less chance there is of finding the file.
think of it as writing your name in the sand. if you go back days later the sea has washed it away
