Second Backup - Free File Backup - Free download and software reviews. Pros. Archives files after they've been deleted. Leaves files in native format (no need to "restore" to get your files back)Cons. Although they say it's supposed to, I've never gotten this program to back up while the computer is logged off (on a server). You have to be logged in.
Summary. This is an excellent program to use in addition to your online backup. It will save your ass when someone has deleted something and not realized it until two weeks later. It's actually perfect for running on a server, however, it doesn't run unless you're logged in. Which is totally annoying.

It's worth paying for. I put in on my client's computers, if you buy more than 1. Reply to this review.

Other software producers - like Avast, AVG, etc - have free software that remains free. Second Backup misleads you and leaves you hanging.
My anti- virus had some problems when installing the software, and gave me several warnings. Summary. Best to find some other Backup software provider. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(1) (0) Pros. This software does an outstanding job of backing up to any drive.
It's will also backup one external drive to another external drive. Nice feature.)You can stipulate how you want the backup to work. Only backup from one drive to another, or backup the newest file on any drive.) And how many generations do you want it to save. Last 3 changes in files, last 2, or whatever.) It also asks if you want the files compressed, and if so, to what level. The default is No Compression.)Cons. Free version does not support automated backup. You need the paid version for this.)Will not do a system backup.
Limited backup options. Summary. I installed this software yesterday. I then started it when I went to sleep, and saw a report on the backup when I woke up this morning. From what I can tell, it worked almost exactly as I needed it to. Though I wasn't excited about it backing up my Recycle Bin or anti- virus software.
All in all, I am satisfied this program. Updated on Feb 1. I am not aware of any time limit on the software. Updated on Feb 1. In going to the website, they don't call it "Free" software. They refer to it as "Trial" software.
I may want to reduce my rating of this software if that is the case. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(1) (0) Pros. None that I can see.
Cons. When a program advertises itself as free, then it should not have a time limit, especially if it is backup software when there is the realistic probablilty that it will be shelved until needed. Then, when you need it, you find out that your time limit expired and the backup is useless unless you purchase the program. This should be illegal in the sense that it is "bait and switch," so someone with a legal background should challenge these shysters. Do not use this "free" program to back up your computer unless you intend to pay full price when you need to actaully restore your system. That is holding your system hostage for a ransom!

Does a good job of backing my files. I can choose which files I want to backup which is a plus for me, unlike other programs that only allow you to choose just the more common places like Documents, Pictures, etc. Cons. When choose to Archive (zip) while backing up it zip's each file independently. I think it would be better if it could zip all files by the folder they are in. Reply to this review.

Zipping the files independently is a better option. In the event of an error in a zipped file, you loose everything in the file.
Pros. It worked great for more than 6 months. Cons. But it is now reporting that my once "free" edition has expired. My latest backup attempt will run and all seems fine during execution, but then a popup window appears stating that the unlimited- timeframe free edition has expired, that I need to purchase the program, and that my backup was cancelled. When I go and check the actual backup data, it has not been updated. Summary. Second Backup developers are ******** and CNet is allowing them to get away with advertising their software as free when it definitely is not.
Forget about using Second Backup and maybe even forget about using CNet all together since both organizations are untrustworthy. Reply to this review. Read reply (1)Was this review helpful?(4) (0) Reply by jlvetor. December 8, 2. 01.
I have had second backup free for several years free. I recently downloaded a new version and I am still using it free. Maybe you downloaded a trial version by mistake? Good luck. Please Wait.
