BackUp MyPC

Amazon.com Review
There’s no excuse for neglecting to create backups of your critical data. Now, Stomp’s BackUp MyPC makes it even harder to find one. Its simple interface, trusty scheduling feature, and ability to work with all forms of media make it easy for backing up data to become second nature. BackUp MyPC is built on the backup engine and interface created by Veritas, which is ubiquitous to almost anyone who’s dealt with backup products (for example, BackUp MyPC is almost ident… More >>
I will never buy any item where the seller does not state the version designation.

This product does not support true disaster recovery. True disaster recovery is when a HD crashes or a new HD is installed you boot from recovery disks and restore the drive. This program REQUIRES that you have original installition disks on hand! Norton Ghost is a much better solution.

Just plain awesome.. For years I’ve been struggling with unreliable tape backup hardware and wanted to switch to DVD-RW as a storage medium. After much research I stumbled across BackupMyPC and gave it a shot. It works exactly as advertised, and is VERY easy to configure and use.
The software supports a number of storage medium including DVDs and CDs. You can backup from network drives (although I don’t believe the software will install on NT Server or 2000 Server software). No problem, just install it on a workstation and backup from the network. Works like a charm!
No real complaints. In fact you’ll find more uses for it after you purchase it!

…THE FIRST COPY OF BACKUP MYPC WOULD NOT LOAD. BACKUP MYPC WORKS VERY WELL ON WIN98SE HOWEVER WE HAVE JUST CHANGED OVER TO WIN2000PRO AND IT IS DEFINATLY NO GOOD FOR DISASTER RECOVERY FOR THIS OS. IT TAKES SIX 1.44 FLOPPIES, THE WIN2000 INSTALL DISK AND MY BACKUP SETS TO GET THE SYSTEM UP. THEN THERE WERE ERRORS REPORTED. ACTUALLY IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER, EXCEPT FOR DATA, TO DO A NEW INSTALL. SINCE THEN WE HAVE USED NORTON GHOST… REASONABLE PRICE. THIS SOFTWARE IS AWSOME FOR WIN2000 USERS. IT BACKS UP DRIVE TO DRIVE OR DRIVE TO MULTIPLE CDRS…

This program does not work for all systems. Evidently there is some problems with OEM systems.
If you go to their web site and find their forum you will find a they have a solution for XP Professional. It involves modifying the registry. You have to try to follow an animation rather than a step by step guide.
My problem is with 2000 Professional. Backup PC will not start.
I hope they develop a work around for 2000 Professional and a way to follow it without trying to keep up with the animation.
