  1. Review - KLS Backup 2009 Professional

    5.0.0.0 (Oct 28, 2009)

    V5.0.0.0 is great. Some nice features added such as secondary backup destination, animated tray icon, Windows 7 support, command line option, etc.. I really like the flexible backup options and plugins to backup data and custom settings for many popular apps including Outlook, Firefox, IE, etc... Even has a sync tool thats good for basic to mid sync requirements but its not as powerful as Syncback. visit www.kls-soft.com for more details.

    Best part is that its relatively small footprint, reliable and runs as a service. I haven't experienced a crash with this app since I began using V4.5 several months back. Worth a look!

  2. Review - GFI Backup

    2009 (Oct 28, 2009)

    Works OK on XP x86. Very poor performance and random job failures on Vista X86, x64, and Win 7 x86. GFI claims they know and are working to fix, but its been a problem since at least July, 2009 when I began testing. Ho hum!

  3. Review - Folder Lock

    6.1.4 (Feb 3, 2009)

    Can somebody tell me why this is necessary when you can use Truecrypt for free?

  4. Review - KLS Backup 2009 Professional

    4.5.0.0 (Dec 2, 2008)

    Worth taking a look at. Comparable to Genie Backup in that it backs up profile data from applications such as Outlook, Firefox, etc. Makes it real easy to restore in the event of a system rebuild or upgrade to new computer. Backup and sync tools are very strong and work well. Lots of flexibility. Its not perfect, as it could use a bit of GUI tweaking to make it easier to navigate. Haven't experienced a single issue/crash with V4.6.5.0. Highly recommended.

  5. Review - DSynchronize

    2.30 (Nov 8, 2008)

    Would be perfect if it supported copying in use files (VSS).

  6. Comment - We can hear you now: Verizon LTE to go live next year

    2.30 (Dec 11, 2008 - 7:13 PM)

    I'll believe it when I see it. And by live I hope they mean in a real city with realistic coverage and handsets available to purchase.

  7. Comment - Comcast to offer bandwidth consumption monitor

    2.30 (Dec 5, 2008 - 10:09 AM)

    AT&T is planning to impose limits as well. Last I heard they want to set 150GB. See here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10082615-93.html

    Verizon has been quiet thus far.

  8. Comment - Seagate intros 500 GB self-encrypting laptop drives

    2.30 (Nov 10, 2008 - 11:25 PM)

    McAfee, isn't that funny? They owned PGP for a couple years and nearly killed it off due to poor management. I wouldn't trust McAfee with my shredded trash! Probably better off with a standard disk and Truecrypt.

  9. Comment - Microsoft: 1 in 10 Vista printer driver installations fail

    2.30 (Nov 10, 2008 - 11:18 PM)

    old HP printers are decent. Newer models, especially the networkable inkjets, have horrible software/drivers. I bet if MS released data HP would be #1 in failures.

  10. Comment - Comcast to deploy 250 GB/month usage caps in October

    2.30 (Aug 30, 2008 - 2:17 PM)

    If ISP's plan to create usage caps, they should be obligated to provide FREE tools for users to be able to view their current usage. Imagine if cell phone companies didn't offer any way for users to measure their monthly usage. Even before they deployed a TXT based system, older phones has resettable usage timers that could be used. Right now, I know of no easy way to measure my WAN access accurately for FREE.
