I once installed a new hard disk in a PC, and preparing to install Windows onto it and copy my data across I cheerfully typed "format d:" and agreed to it. About 10 minutes later I realised I'd picked the wrong drive.

Worse, it was a friend's computer.

Smile Backup

I would definitely utilize the "Network Drive Support" feature. I have a large networked hard drive that I would love to have my backup files stored on.

Backup across the network would be nice.

The thought of being able to backup all the PCs on the network is what appeals to me. Trying to get other family members to do decent backups (or security for that matter) drives me crazy. I get worried if I don't have at least three different sets of backups on different drives. Theres's nothing like finding out that you just backed up a corrupted version of something after you deleted the original for some reason.

I'll have to vote for the network backup support. It's tough remembering to copy my files to the server and then back them up. This would make it so I wouldn't even be involved, which is what I'm trying more and more to have my software do.

Default Dead laptop drive

My stepdaughter is a digital photo fiend. SHe has an older Canon 6mp camera and a iPhone. SHe takes thousands of pictures. Recently, she brought the laptop to me and said it wouldn't start.

Well, sure enough. ON boot I got all kinds of corrupted file errors. I asked her, "You did back up all your pics, right?" Well of course she didn't!

I tried reloading Windows (didn't work) and a bunch of other stuff. It soon became clear that the drive was nearly dead.

I was able to remove the drive and connect it to my PC and work through the security issues. I was only able to save about half of her pics before the drive stopped responding completely.

Just think how much grief would have been saved if we has NTI Backup!

Cool NTI Backup Now 5

The most important feature of this software to me is the automated backups as well as being able to backup any PC on your network. It would absolutely devastating to me to lose my music collection, and more importantly, my digital pictures.

I try to be diligent with my backups, but I never seem to be 100% caught up. This might just help do the trick! =)

The backup to any computer on the home network is a great idea...as someone else said, the ability to back up to a central, large HD computer w/o having to use a thumb drive, and to do it automatically and on a schedule is awesome....
