I've been using B.U.s since 1993 and this is definitely the best I've used. The top part is for collecting your folders and files for backup and how and when you want it sent, and the lower part is the destination info. It took me a few minutes to get it configured, but when I did and filled out all the options and files and folders and destination, it took only 15 seconds. It's not hard to learn. If you work in the explorer, it's a breeze. What I like about it is that it will copy folders and files, separate. You have many choices as to what compression, if any, you want to use. I had about 200MBs and it took 15 seconds, using XP Pro. Total time to config and select the files and destination info, was about 20 min. And it saved the project and had a auto backup on it. After all these years I found one that does it all.

The first thing I can say of Uranium is that it is very small. After installation it uses less than 5 MB of disk space and requires minimal system resources. When I found Uranium I was bored by other backup programs, hundreds of files installed, several processes in memory... Uranium is fast, is lightweight, and is portable! I can use it simply having the only Uranium.exe file, also from an USB pen. Finally, I think that Uranium is the most flexible backup program available (really a lot of options). After some tests I decided to advise its commercial version to the company where I actually work. They found that Uranium tape backup features are outstanding! After a simple search in the internet, we concluded that Uranium is a mature program, and can be considered as a great and cheaper alternative to Backup Exec for TAPE and NAS backups, especially on Windows 2008 ntbackup is no more available. I advise everybody to try this great software!

The interface was put together OK, wasn't hard to figure out settings. Downside, you have to pay for some features lacking, uh.. there are way to many GOOD FREE back up utilities or PAID versions for that matter, and this one has a long way to go before I would use it, let alone pay for it. Why does it take forever for this app to load? I have no idea but that was a pet peeve. So it's not the worst and hey, this part is free, you may like it. I didn't.
