Vision Backup 10 Review
Vision backup 10 a good utility for office and home backups
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
It is very efficient software with many features.
No free software for home users, a little complicated interface to understand and have access to all settings. No bootable emergency disk for recovery and this is a problem.
Company and installation.
Vision backup is an easy software to test and download, but there is no free version available. To test it there is a download of a trial version that lasts only some week, then you have to buy it.
So the first elements of this software are good because you can test it without problems.
Installation of package is easy and does not request special skill of configuration, it takes less than a minut, and than the software open the main window.
Technical aspect.
Basic function inside are easy for user because are based on the classic style for software backup programs, indeed you have to make a backup profile, name it and than selct source path and destination path.
Schedualtion is a function available in this software for authomatic backups, and this is important because so you will save many data that "can be forgotten" by unexperienced users.
So you have the two classic buttons, run a "backup now" and "restore backup".
Some problem may arise for useres, because it has many features for special destination of backups on local area network that not everybody may understand, I mean ftp backup servers and more complicated protocols.
It is good to know that it has also the easy possibility of making backups on cd and dvd, that is something easy to understand for users.
Thers is also a tool for reports to help diagnosis.
It is also able to make backup on USB devices and external disks and offers compression and encription of data that is something that makes easy to store data in a small safe and easy way.
It has an authomatic procedure to save SQL files.
Also possibility of using a password protection for certain procedures to avoid errors.
Some consideration.
Company tells it can be installed on "Windows 2000 and up", but could be better if company would specify more about operating systems, they say can backup through the Lan working with all most diffuse operating systems.
Till now it appears to be a good backup utility but would be better to have some data more about the ratio of compression.
Also a better interface for users would be better to make basic setups. This to say it is not such an easy tool for everybody.
A good software for client Pc of a local area network and home users.
