I've bought the software and I have to say that I'm impressed. It's extremely fast and it can be installed on an USB stick (it's portable). It's worth every penny.

Oh, I forgot to mention: this is totally portable. It installs on your external disk and it stays with it! On my computer the software pops up with a very simple menu whenever I connect the disk to the USB port: backup, explore or minimize. Awesome.

P.S. there is an option in the system tray to activate or deactivate the menu pop-up on insert.

This has to be the most straight forward software I have ever used! No nonsense options yet very powerful. What surprises me is the fact that there is no need to dig deep to get to more advanced options. The archive explorer is just awesome: drag and drop any file out of the archive and onto your desktop or folder of choice. I have not seen anything simpler than that yet. About speed, I see others already said it ... The first time it saved all my selected folders and it took the time to transfer all the files to my external drive. Nothing exceptional there other than its simplicity (it all looks so easy), the good part started when I run the second backup ... it was so fast I thought it did not do anything ... by looking at the log file and checking the archive I saw that everything was saved just fine. It's true that i only had 2 new documents and 1 updated, but still, it surprised me. Pleasantly, that is. Two thumbs up!!
