Backup4all worth my money?

[Dazreiello]

Would like to know if anyone knows much about this program. I want to back up my harddrives every once in a while, both my art and game drives respectively. But Im sick of backing up the whole thing every time which takes hours. Do anyone know if the lite version does a good enough job at incremental back ups? Or do I need this "true incremental backup" From the premium version?

Try veeam. They have a free version that can do incremental backups and generally works pretty well.

I use SyncBack personally. Best program for this IMO.

Ooo Thanks! I'll look these up right now

Honestly I would still recommend Macrium Reflect even with their free version being gone. 

It was easy to navigate and get set up(even to a NAS). It was worth the money for me.

Thanks for the recommendation.

This works perfectly for my mirrored backups to external drives.

That's right, I have two right hands, don't judge.

It's an amazing program. I have so many profiles configured in different ways for each crazy scenario I have.

 

It's a damn good backup program.....in my opinion of course

I use backup4all for all my data backups to local removable hard drives. The biggest selling point for me was the backups are standard archives. If the software craps the bed, I could still open them with 7Zip. I do both incremental and differential backups, which I don't think are available in the lite version.

 

The one negative, it will not do a full system or system state backup. For that I use Macrium or Backupper.
