CyberLink PowerBackup Editor's Review
When you start using a computer, office productivity, web browsing and media playback are stuffs that occupy your time. However, as your data and media collection grows, you realize the need for backing up data. This is true for both casual and veteran users. There are several backup apps including one that comes bundled with Windows OS. If you want something better than Windows data backup utility but do not want to tax your wallet much, Cyberlink’s PowerBackup is a worthy choice. It may not come with all the bells and whistles but gets the job of backup done properly.
In a time when majority of PC users use either Windows 7 or 8, strangely CyberLink website does not mention these two OSes and lists support for near obsolete operating systems like Windows ME, 2000 and XP. The hardware requirements of the app are rather modest compared to other category apps. In real world scenario, the app gets installed on PCs with Windows 7 and runs well.
The app offers basically 3 processes to backup data- differential, incremental and full. You can choose to back up data on diverse optical media including Blu-Ray, USB drive and hard disk. The app is also capable of data compression to save storage space. However, you cannot backup drive images or use remote FTP locations for backup storage. The app does not have convenient one click backup option which is found in many competing apps nowadays.
Cyberlink’s PowerBackup’s user interface is intuitive and even a new user will not find it hard to use the app. If the app encounters any error while running the backup it will not abort the process. Instead of that, it will make a log entry and carry on with rest of the process. It also comes with an integrated scheduler which can be used to back up data automatically at your preferred timing. While this is a convenient feature, there is no option to inform users of updates and any errors encountered in the process over email.
PowerBackup also comes with a nifty Restore tool which restores data on storage mediums without issues. The restoration is similar to backing up method and you can customize it as per needs. Using the app does not cause system slowdown as such. There is a user manual and help section which should be adequate for your needs. CyberLink also offers Phone support but it costs you extra and is not available round the clock.
Positive Points:
- Simple interface, easy to learn.
- Decently priced for its features.
- Does great job of data backup and restoration.
- Wide range of backup storage media.
Negative Points:
- No one click backup included.
- Officially does not support Windows 7 and 8.
- No online or FTP based storage.
- Phone support costs extra.
Conclusion:
Cyberlink PowerBackup is a non-nonsense backup tool that does what it is meant to do without fuss. It is true the app lacks additional bells and whistles but most users do not need fancy features either. It will let you schedule data backups and you can store data on a variety of storage mediums using the app. If small glitches like lack of FTP storage or one click backup does not matter much to you, the app will serve your backup and restoration needs well.
