Backup Software Compared

Today there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of different backup solutions available for entire networks as well as single folders. While this multitude of backup software allows advanced users to find complete solutions for almost any problem, it also makes it fairly difficult for normal Windows users to find good, general backup software that will simply back up important files and maybe some emails. In this comparison, I have included several well-known backup programs that can be used to create backups of your files and emails in an easy way.

Backup MyPC
Backup MyPC, formerly known as Backup Exec Desktop, is popular backup software that was originally created by Veritas but is now being sold by Stomp. This backup software allows Windows users to create backups of files and folders, as well as system settings.

GoBack
GoBack, originally created by Roxio but now being sold by Symantec, lets you restore previous versions of files. GoBack can track files automatically and includes password protection. It can be used to easily restore system files and settings.

Retrospect
Retrospect by Dantz supports DES encryption, as well as compression and spanning. Retrospect can be used to backup files and folders and also can back up registry entries.

WinBackup
WinBackup by LIUtilities is new backup software for home or corporate users. WinBackup includes features such as compression and 256-bit AES encryption and also supports different media including USB drives, CDs, and DVDs.
