The program is absolutely designed to run in the background silently, backing up files as you make changes. If you can contact me directly, I can make sure you have the latest version and get you up and running so that no poking is necessary ;-) thanks, ross@memeo.com Hi Mark,

Are you running another background backup program that might interfere? Does your Event Viewer show you anything? My problem with Memeo was that it ran too continuously.

It does not seem to work continiously. Every few days I need to reboot or open the Memeo application window and poke it to get it to start working. To me the whole beauty of the application is to have it purring along in the background. Do you have any experience with this issue? Thanks, Mark I have installed Memeo auto backup on my PC.

Rebit actually backs up your software and has a bare-metal reboot option; the last Memeo Autobackup I used doesn't. That doesn't make it a bad product, mind you; it's just important to be clear about what it is and isn't. I think making products for neophytes and technophobes is very important, but these are exactly the people who are most likely not to realize that when you say "backs up your whole hard drive," you don't really mean their <em>whole</em> hard drive.

Here are a few points for your readers to consider: 1. If users click on the “i” in the main window of the UI, we list folders that will not be backed up. But apparently this is not prominent enough. Our goal is always to be open and honest. 2. Backing up PST files is scheduled for our next release which will be available within the next week. 3. You are exactly right about your “power user” status. This product is intended for users who don’t understand technology or who don’t want to deal with technology – that’s exactly why there are so few options – such as selecting folders to back up or selecting specific files to restore. Memeo has other products for these users. 4. As for a Rebit comparison, we feel this product actually matches up quite well. - It’s certainly as easy to use (or easier) as any product on the market - have a automatic restore function versus only a “drag and drop” manual function for Rebit - We are Windows 7 compliant - At $29.95, Memeo is nearly half the price of Rebit. For users who want more functionality with we offer Memeo Premium Backup, which at $49.95 (the same price as Rebit), offers substantially more functionality than rebit. 5) As for the name - remember, Instnat Backup not only instantly starts to backup, it also instantly protects any new or changed file automatically. cheers robert@memeo Thanks for taking a look at Memeo Instant Backup™ Sallie, we appreciate your feedback on the product.
