* FBackup 4.8
Cool FREE APP which is able to protect your important data (files & folders) by backing it up automatically to any USB/Firewire device, local or network location. This magic FREE tool uses ZIP64 compression (meaning it can create zip files over 2GB in size) and, unlike most (paid and free) backup software out there, it's capable of making a mirror without creating unnecessary folders. To do that, just select the "mirror option", then deselect “Create full paths” and finally select “Remove excluded or deleted files from backup".

And as far as I know it's also the only free backup software out there supporting BACKUP PLUGINS for specific program settings.

@15: I would invite everyone to try out our product and see what it is about. Ocster 1-Click Backup is by far the easiest to use backup software on the market - we have spent a lot of time on designing it that way.
And we also take great care to ensure that everything is fully automatic and does not disturb your normal work.

So, since it is free today, why not it a go. Also, please let us know what you think (either here, in our support live chat or via email).

Thanks and have a great day.

Hauke Duden, CEO of Ocster

@40: We have actually had several people requesting this. We are considering to extend the promotion.

@43: How would we manipulate the thumbs down? The rating system is run by giveawayoftheday, not by us.
Please let me assure you that we take all feedback seriously. Why do you think I, as CEO of the company, take the time to read these comments? Our goal is to create software that helps most people in the best way. And promotions like these provide valuable information to us.

Best regards,

Hauke Duden

Nr. 5 Please do not tell us that you have been backing up your computer on your drive C:. The whole purpose of a backup is to be able to restore the hard disk/SSD you backed up. If you make your backup on drive C: and for some strange reason your drive fails then your system,files,and backup are lost.ALWAYS backup to an external drive!!!! The method you use is up to you tape,harddisk, or Blu Ray.

The installation is a bit unclear to me. Here is the text from the readme file...
Installation

Unzip the package you`ve downloaded and install the software by running Setup.exe.

To register your free copy run the application and fill in the form in the pop-up window. Click the confirmation link in the email to complete activation.

I assume after you install the program, you start it to find a popup window with an email address. You will then receive email with a confirmation link.

I have received and used earlier versions of this program. It does everything it says and it does it quite well. If you are concerned about the security of your dats should you need to reinstall the program, just download the free version. It will allow you to recover your data.

There are different versions of this program. Check out this link for descriptions and comparisons...

All in all if you are in need of a backup program, this will satisfy your backup needs. But keep in mind there are other alternatives, both paid and free to choose from.

Thank you GOTD team and to Ocster.
