The trick is (speaking from a Windows standpoint), when you install the OS, split your drive into two partitions – one for the OS and programs, and the other for data.

Well, in most cases, a full system ‘restore’ isn’t really necessary, or shouldn’t be to restore any critical data files. The only thing that comes to mind is the compression and the lack of FTP support, but those are not big issues. To be completely honest, I can’t think of much that’s wrong with it. It works great, it’s inexpensive, easy to use and can encrypt your files. Overall, WinBackup is an excellent product. The speed is comparable to the Windows backup program. WinBackup was pretty fast, at copying, compressing, and burning. I have three hard drives in my system, so in my case it has to copy files from all three hard drives. Before WinBackup burns your backup to a CD (DVD, or whatever you choose to use) it copies the files to a temp folder on your hard drive and compresses them. I’ve run about twenty or so backups and it hasn’t frozen or crashed. On my WindowsXP Pro system WinBackup was very stable and fairly fast. I have the main backup burn to a CD every month and I backup up my config files and saved game files to a USB pen drive every Friday. I have two main backup jobs, one for all my important files and one for my user data, configuration settings and saved game files. You can have it backup daily, monthly, or anywhere in between. It compresses better than the backup software that comes bundled with Windows but not as good as WinRAR. The compression is decent, but not quite as good as I would like. Not only does WinBackup compress your archives, but it also password protects them and can encrypts them with 128 or 256 bit AES encryption. I’d like to see this feature in a future version, but not having it isn’t a huge loss. Unfortunately, it does not backup directly to an FTP server. WinBackup can split your backup into smaller files so it’s easy to span onto multiple disks, CDs, or whatever media you choose to use. WinBackup can backup to a large array of devices, including CD-RW drives, DVD writers, removable disks and USB drives – basically any storage device. You can also tell it to restore files to an alternate location if you don’t want to replace your existing file. From there you can select what files you want to restore.

Just double click the archive and WinBackup launches. Restoring your archives is equally as easy. WinBackup has a built in search feature, which allows to quickly locate files you may want to backup. Once you select the files you want to backup just press the ‘Run Backup’ button and your done! It also has a wizard that is great for first time users.

WinBackup is easy to use, it has a Windows-Explorer style interface that allows you to navigate your computer and select the files you want to back up. Despite it’s low cost ($50 boxed, $30 for a downloadable version) and small size (under 2 Mb) WinBackup has a ton of features including built in CD/DVD burning support and 256-bit encryption. LIUtilities’s WinBackup is a backup program for Windows 98/NT/ME/2000 and XP.
