Author's review

Genie Backup Manager, a very easy to use yet powerful and flexible software that can backup files, documents, emails, settings, programs and more to virtually any local or remote device including internal and external hard disks, FTP locations, across network, CD/DVD discs, removable media, memory sticks, and tapes.

GenieScript is an easy to learn XML based scripting language provided with GBM Home to enable users to automate backup of programs and program settings. This is done by creating scripts that can backup registry keys, files and folders, and ini file entries and combine them as one item that the user can at any time select from the My Programs tab in the backup wizard.

These days few companies can afford to close their running software to create a "backup window" for backup software to be able to archive data reliably and successfully, and most standard backup solutions are not equipped to handle files that are being used by other applications, resulting in the failure of these solutions in performing the very task they were bought to perform . Genie Backup Manager Home offers FAM (File Access Manager), an optional ad-on software, that ensures that all data is backed up.
