Industry experts answer the one
million-dollar question Why Genie Backup
Manager?
....................................................................................................................................
In the old days, everything used to be scarce. Options were limited to whatever
comes our
way. But these days, as we live in a time of abundant
supply-with all the upsizing, freebies and mass
discounts-consumers keep on looking for reviews and
experts' opinions to determine which product is better
suited to serve their needs.
However when it comes to backup utilities, users will
look no further, since the experts have already spoken-
and they have chosen Genie Backup Manager (GBM).
Many reasons made GBM a unanimous choice for
experts, one of them is the fact that with the set of
features it offers, it's definitely the easiest to use.
"Genie Backup Manager Professional has a clear, simple interface
which lets you manage the application without problems and in just a few
minutes," the UK's Personal Computer World (PCW) stated in its Feb
2005 review of GBM, in which it selected the application for its Highly
Recommended award. "As soon as you start working with it, you'll
see that behind its simple appearance lie some advanced options not found
in higher-end products."
Before reviewing an assortment of products, experts usually predefine
the criteria upon which they will judge the software candidates-for example,
the popular Info-Packets newsletter established a 6 Point Purchasing Guide
to help users search for a backup utility, namely: Ease of use, value
for money, reliability, performance, depth of feature set, and research
and review.
After defining those measures, Info-Packets started a search for the
software that mostly combines all six of them.
"An impossible feat? Perhaps not," Info-Packets' Dennis Faas
wrote in his March 2005 article. "Thankfully, my quest to find such
a program ended when I came across a wonderful backup utility, called
Genie Backup Manager."
Faas also praised GBM for its user-friendliness and advanced features.
" Genie Backup Manager (GBM) is an all-in-one backup solution that
provides easy to use, powerful features that can archive and restore personal
files, documents, emails, complex Windows settings, programs, and more
to virtually any local or remote device..."
Honoring GBM as its 2004 " Editors Choice: Best overall "
in the review for Outstanding Windows Backup Software
Programs, industry specialists Backup Software Reviews
called it: "An impressively fast and full featured program
with the capacity to back up the Windows Registry,
Favorites, Outlook data and other system files in addition
to normal email and user data."
While reviewing GBM , Backup Software Reviews
concluded that when "the chips are down, you'd be happy
to have this program working for you."
A similar notion was offered by Top Ten Reviews, who selected GBM as
their 2005 " TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award Winner ," for being "a
powerful, versatile backup tool capable of just about any backup task
you can dream up. This program has more custom backup options available
than any other backup software package we reviewed ."
Besides its ease of use, GBM has won all these accolades for offering
an array of features that put it at par-if not at a higher level-with
other top-notch applications, while being, by far, cheaper in price. "Now
that's a mouthful!" Faas wrote in his review.
Such a convention was the reason behind Top Ten Reviews decision to award
GBM the highest mark for "Features", as "it's packed with
a lot of good options," according to PCW , while Backup Software
Reviews declared in their review, "Genie has one of the most complete
feature sets of any product on the market."
GBM is also heads and shoulders above the rest for supporting "nearly
every backup media format," Info-Packets said; as GBM can backup
"to just about every conceivable storage device," according
to Backup Software Reviews. "You have tremendous data storage versatility
with Genie Backup, including the ability to pick a new location for any
backup ," Top Ten Reviews noted.
Genie-Soft's focus on help, support and documentation took GBM's user-experience
to a different level, giving industry experts more delight as they tested
the application.
"This program's help and support is as solid as the product itself,"
Backup Software Reviews declared, while Info-Packets admired what it described
as a "top-notch help system."
"When we used Genie Backup Manager to backup Outlook Express email,
a popup help menu showed us exactly how to restore the old emails from
backup and how to import backed up email into Outlook Express. We appreciated
these timely tips," Top Ten Reviews said. "Also, Genie Backup
Manager offers a search tool to help you find topics fast. And Genie-Soft
offers a complete tour of Genie Backup Manager's features."
After marveling at all of these features and bonuses, experts found out
for themselves that when push comes to shove, GBM will not disappoint.
"Our backup ran smoothly and the restored data worked perfectly,"
Top Ten Reviews added. "In all, Genie Backup Manager took 10 minutes
to compress, write, and verify 650 megabytes of data on my CD-RW disc
(@ 10x speed). I was severely impressed," I nfo-Packets' Faas wrote,
while Backup Software Reviews concluded, "Genie is one of those products
that feels rock solid. And that folks, is a very good quality in a backup
program."
