Paragon Backup & Recovery 10.1 Free Doesn’t Quite Live up to Its Name

March 28, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Don’t worry, Paragon Backup & Recovery 10.1 Free Edition really is free. And it is a backup and recovery tool. But I’m not sure I would call it a paragon among programs of its kind, even though Paragon Software Group has been developing it for 15 years now.

Hey! You! Get off of My Cloud!

February 5, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch 1 Comment

Review of the 3X Remote Backup Appliance The headline of the pitch I received back in November read “3X Systems Launches Private Backup Cloud Appliance for SMBs”. The notion of a “private cloud” intrigued me, so I decided to follow up. (Besides, no one quoted in the press release used the word “excited,” so they get extra points.)

Ouch. Since that time, Darwin … [Read more...]

Just Add Water? Memeo Instant Backup

September 19, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch 43 Comments

When I first heard about Memeo Instant Backup, I objected that no program that backed up your entire hard drive could possibly be “instant.” Hard drives are getting bigger and bigger, so copying them takes longer and longer. Robert Phillips explained to me that the “instant” part refers to the fact that the backup process starts instantly: as soon as you install the product, it begins backing you … [Read more...]

StarWind: SAN Made Simple

September 11, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch 2 Comments

So right after he finished explaining to me that he really couldn’t take the time to evaluate StarWind’s products, the Ur-Guru went ahead and did it anyway. And here’s what he had to say about them. There are a lot of technical terms in this post, partly because it’s about enterprise software, and partly because enterprise software products are more complex and partly because the author is (though … [Read more...]
