Positives and Negatives of Handy Backup:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Positives:

Retailing at $30 it is a very powerful program for the cost
Easy to use and understand
Various mediums available to back up onto give a wide choice to the users
The automation of as many different Backup, Restore or Synchronize items as you require will be great for businesses
Very quick in most of the tests that I performed on the program
Help file is easy to read and understand. It comes complete with pictures and guides for newcomers which will make using the program easy

Negatives:

No DVD Support. With the increase of DVD burners around, this is a must for the next release
No CD option in the Synchronize mode. I would have felt that with either multi-session CDR’s or CDRW’s, this is an option that could have been implemented
The possible deletion of files in Synchronize mode would be a worry if you inadvertently put your files in the wrong directory or moved it straight to the backup folder

Next we'll take a look at my conclustions for this program...
