Re: Stomp's BackUp My PC Review!
Thanks for the very good review!
I have used Backup MyPC for years, and it has always been one of the best backup utilities out there (it has been around under different names for about 10 years). It is a lot faster than NTI Backup Now! Deluxe when backing up to CDRW. The only disadvantage I found in Backup MyPC is that the CD's must be formatted with its proprietary format before they can be used for data backup. This takes about 7 minutes per CD on my system. A minor issue, as it only needs to be done once.
Norton Ghost has the advantage of being able to restore to a completely blank hard drive, which, as you noted, Backup MyPC cannot do under XP. The speed advantage of backing up to a hard drive is countered by the fact that it is more sensitive to shock and temperature than CDs or tapes.
