Ever heard of Retrospect Express 7.5 Backup Software?

Question

I was hoping to get some opinions on this software? I would appreciate your input. Thanks

I'm running WinXP HE and IE if that matters.

I have the backup software but have not installed it yet....will await your responses.

I have 2 HDD's on my computer, does it matter which drive I install the backup software on?

I have a small 40GB "C drive" (it contains my OS, my photo's, and my files and folders) and a large (I added this one) 250GB secondary "F drive".

Can I install the backup software on the F drive then backup my entire C drive onto my F drive?

I also have an external 40 GB HDD in a USB enclosure. This one is nearly full of photo's. Will this external drive allow me to copy over the data that's already on it?

In other words, can I put about 34+GB of data on the external 40GB HDD even though it nearly full already?

Answer 1

I've heard of it. I think it comes with some external harddrives for doing scheduled backups. The customer that I encountered that had tried it, didn't like it. They purchased Norton Ghost to do their backups and were pleased with it. I don't have first hand experience with it, just their opinion.
