Anyone have any experience with this software?

Here is a very brief write up on it: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/free-windows-backup-utility-simple-and-flexible.htm

 

Nothing. I just saw the article Alexhousek linked and was curious if anyone had any hands on experience with it.

 

I've been using the Free version of Iperius Backup for a year and still like it. Only today did I buy the full version, which offers some more features. I don't know how good it is compared to other backup programs, but this one has never let me down and it is very easy to use.

What is comical about their "about us" statement? Care to elaborate?

 

OK, now I see what you mean. Anyway, their products are great, so I think I can live with this "comical" statement.
