Safe Copy is damn effective. It has really saved me tons of money. Am glad. Thanks
I use this product and there a few things I would like to add.
Pros:
IPhone support
Inexpensive
easy to operate (up to a point, will explain below)
Photosharing
all the ones in the article
Cons:
Files larger than 200 meg not automatically backed up. Requires a manual selection.
Log files don’t work comes back with a access denied error message (2 versions of code)
Slowwwww backup
Conclusion:
Good product, tried several different ones but each one was missing something. This product seemed to fill all my needs as a plain user. I went with the 200Gig option.
BUT with the log files not working there is no way to tell what files were not backed up either due to an issue or because of the 200 meg limit. Yep I had to manually go through my directories to start a backup of each file. Then again it is one of the cheaper options out there.
This is the most effective and stable online backup product I have ever used. Mozy was problematic and I tossed out Carbonite almost the minute I installed the trial version. I backup every critical computer with an external hard drive as a system backup using BouceBack Ultimate. That is for computer disaster recovery but it will not help if the office burns down or equipment is stolen. I use SafeCopy to backup all of my critical data files as well as pictures and videos.
I thought there was a 200MB file limit as well, but that is not the case. The upload limit defaults to 200MB but you can increase the limit in the Backup Configuration using the Advanced button. The selection is a bit obscure and you must type in your limits. I typed in 6000 and it is now backing up files up to 5.9GB and that fact is stated on the configuration screen where it used to say 200MB. Since the largest single file on any of my computers is 5GB (thankfully only a few, like outlook PST archive files), that is the perfect setting.
On one system I occassional must reinstal the software and the automatic reinstallation does not work. I kept a download of the installation file so reinstalling is not difficult but it requires a reboot. The machine with the problem is XP SP 3.0 and is used as a file server, so a reboot can be stressful. Notheless as far as online backup goes, I would rate this product a 9 but I could go to 10 if I did not have the reinstall issue and the occasional “Internal server error”.
