Genie Backup Manager Home v8 Review - Making Quick and Easy File Backups
Backing up the various files that take up residence in the typical computer is a task that we all know we have to carry out on a regular basis, but let's admit it: it is one that is really quite tedious to perform and as a result, it is more often than not neglected for months and months at a time.
As you can imagine, neglecting to carry out this most crucial of computer-related tasks can-and in fact many times does-end in disaster for the user.
The backup toss-up
It is a somewhat cruel joke that some people can go for long periods of time without ever even thinking about backing up their files or having a backup procedure in place, while someone who backs up their files religiously can suffer from a devastating hard drive crash that wipes out large areas of their hard drive.
This does not mean that the backup procedure is largely useless, and that it is pretty much a crapshoot as to who can be assured of retaining their crucial data in the event of a crash. Rather, it emphasizes the true nature of computer mishaps as thoroughly unpredictable and almost random occurrences that you would do well to be on guard against at all times, hence the need to have a safe, secure and-most importantly-reliable backup solution in place.
The Genie Backup Manager v8 Home Edition is one such solution, and it makes the tedious task of backing up all of your important files much easier and faster, so that you won't be inclined to put it off until it's too late.
Well worth the dough
You may be pleasantly surprised to discover that Genie Backup Manager 8 is really quite reasonably priced, especially for such a remarkably effective piece of code. It is true that you will be able to find a lot of other backup software that is a lot cheaper, but frankly, you really won't want to leave the fate of your precious files in the hands of these, shall we say, less than reliable software packages. You might be able to save a little money now but when crunch time comes and you find that you are not able to recover your files...well, the few pennies that saved will not be of much use.
Put your best face forward
One of the best things about Genie Backup Manager v8 is the remarkably well-designed user interface which is quite thorough and informative without being overwhelming or cluttered. This ensures that even if you are not a computer wizard-and lets face it-not many of us are, backup procedures will be easy enough that you are not intimidated to the point of not using it.
Four backup types are provided, which should cover all typical user needs and requirements. Restoration is also easy and largely hassle-free, which is just as important as backing up your files in the first place. After all, what good is a backup if you cannot retrieve your files the way you intended?
Finally to make backup tasks even more of a no-brainer, a wizard has been thoughtfully included, which will guide you through all of the necessary backup procedures.
Backing up your important files can be a major source of headache and frustration. With the Genie Backup Manager 8 on your side however, you may even find yourself looking forward to doing it!
