D_back does not come with a single "unique" feature, yet it is a very likely candidate to hold the title "World's most straightforward backup utility". Really, D_back does only one thing - after a person selects the most critical data that he or she wants to have a reserve copy of, the program will create backups automatically on a daily basis (though other time increments may be selected). No complicated setup or overwhelming options.
D_back can place a reserve copy onto any type of media - hard-drive, network drive, removable drive, CD or DVD, floppy, file server (via FTP) and so on. Even though none of that is "unique", program developers worked hard to make D_back as simple as possible. For example, if a person does not know what FTP is, backed up data may be e-mailed. Plus, while almost 99% of all backup utilities have FTP support, few companies thought of a built-in dial up option for users with a modem.
Small things like these or like brainlessly
simple backup scheduler and
command line backup option
make D_back a utility that people can use without ever reading
tutorials and help files.
The backup file format is a familiar ZIP, though, if
other compression agents
are installed, they can be used as well.
Naturally, a demanding user will find
more backup options
after closely investigating
the program, but the main advantage of D_back is that it can be configured once
and forgotten about after that. The program will quietly continue doing what it's
supposed to do without prompting any actions by the user.
