Under the "Awards" page I see they list Tucows giving a "4" cow rating, the trouble is that when doing a Tucows search, nothing comes up searching for DoubleSafety.

So I went on to the next "Award" -- TopShareWare.
The latest under that location was a "SPONSORED" mention - no "Award", and no customer comments could be found. The latest version listed there was 4.3 on October 04, 2005.

This search became interesting and I went to the next "award" site listing BrotherSoft.com. Here was found the listing had occurred on 2010-06-16, with a total download history of 118 but none last week.

So, I am wondering what a "Award" means with this company. Is it special recognition, or is it a simple listing? Certainly, it must mean that such a designation doesn't have to mean much for Power Labs. In fact, listing as done on their webpage makes me question the abilities of the program just on the integrity factor itself. It may be a good program, but I will not use it because of that factor.

Not for me:
Backup to FTP Server failed with errors, but no way to find out WHAT error. Have to start from scratch. (I had killed all programs first.) Then I got "backup saved but with errors". Now what???
Does not save login information so you have to retype all the information every time. One letter error in the password and you have to start from scratch!
Could not find how to do incremental backup.
Wasted over 1.5 hours trying to get uploaded to FTP.
If you try this only use a very small backup set first until you figure out if it will work. For me it won't.

Bit disappointed that it makes one great zip file, unlike Vice Versa which re-creates the tree structure and is so much easier to get one file instead of messing around with what could be a massive ZIP file.

Also can't see any incremental options. Might be wrong because I've uninstalled it now, but would need this if I was going to use it.

Will stick with Vice Versa which has done me proud and saved my life several times over the last 10 years of using it.

Nice to see this back. I lost it when I had to replace a hard drive (restored all my data from DoubleSafety's backups, of course!).
I've been trying to use the free version of GFI Backup, but in comparison it's slow, a resource hog, and seems to be quite temperamental.
