Backup to HD: East-Tec Backup 2009

In this article we will describe great quality product by EAST Technologies – East-Tec Backup 2009. It offers wide list of supported storage media, but we will mainly look at the product as backup to HD solution. However, it is also possible to back up to CD, DVD, FireWire, USB, remote locations and many other destinations.

When it comes to backup sources, East-Tec Backup allows backup of files and folders with availability to include or exclude specific file types, backup of Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora and some other widespread e-mail clients, backup of settings and bookmarks from popular web browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera), backup of Windows registry, etc. Your backup to HD can be done in fully automatic mode without any intervention if you set up a flexible scheduler, which also can execute commands and applications before or after running backup tasks. User-friendly wizards and interface will help you set up your backup to harddrive process. Strong encryption will protect your copies, while ZIP compression will save your storage capacity.

The main disadvantages of the program include the absence of some features like hard drive image backup and ODBC databases backup. Of course, these features are not needed by lots of users who want to back up their important data, but their absence can be considered a disadvantage for some. The program costs $39.95, but you will probably overpay for wide list of features if you only need to use simple backup to hdd. The program performs very well as a complex backup solution, which includes performing backup to HD.
