    @Tom Davidson – I can understand your concern, but in general it is good to check the company before trying any software.
    Always check online for the history of the company and any user reviews (on independent sites) of their products.
    And of course always run a virus scan on any download that you plan to install.

    In the case of Novosoft you will see that it is a company with a long history and even their handy backup software dates back as far as 2002.

    Kyle: Is there any potential security problem with this Novosoft being a Russian company? Is there any special protection we should implement when installing software sourced from Russia on our PC’s? Especially software that copies and stores files?

  3. Hi there, Kyle! I’d like to add that for files that are really, REALLY important — i.e. my daughter’s adorable photos ;) — I make backup files in an external drive as well as in a CD or a USB stick. Just so I can sleep better every night … :)

  4. Great piece of advice, Kyle! It is highly necessary to invest in backup as soon as possible. You never know when something might go wrong. You’ll just sleep better at night knowing that you have some sort of safety net for your valuable files and documents.

    @Cristy – If you have your originals on your computer hard disk and make a regular backup on the Seagate external hard drive, then yes, that is generally enough.
    Both would need to fail before you would have a serious problem.
    In case the data is very important to you, it does not harm to make another backup on DVD for example. It depends on the amount of data and the frequency of change really.

  6. I rely solely on my Seagate external drive for backup. Is that wise?

  7. Great stuff, Kyle! Really handy stuff, especially for ignorant computer users like me. ;)
