If your backup needs are simple this is an excellent choice. The interface is not graphically fancy but it is very intuitive and quick to use. Has zip AES password feature but no archive encryption -- you may not need this. I use b4winxp as a secondary backup app and it is superb at doing the job it was designed to do. ***Best of all -- b4win is not buggy*** very few backup apps can make that claim. You will also like the tick-box approach to selecting files and folders. I do NOT recommend the freeware version because it does not save many of your configuration settings. Turn off the "verify" archive feature if you use a password or else you will have to re-enter it for the verify to run. This is not a bug -- just an annoyance, which I have asked them to fix.
