It is grossly inefficient and is a huge resource hog. Just look at system resources while it is running or not and it will rank at the top of CPU and memory usage.

I think you should've listed it in some order. i.e., ones which are good in rating on top and so on. The list is great and I’ve checked out most of the software.

It is very flexible and configurable (a lot of options). Finally, I found it very very stable and reliable. Good article,

I would recommend another software that isn’t in the list:

Uranium Backup
http://www.uraniumbackup.com

It is very small and needs few resources. It is very flexible and configurable (a lot of options). Finally, I found it very very stable and reliable.

I have two laptops I should be backing up, both have separate partitions for Linux and Windows XP. Yes, they are both dual boot machines. To make things more complicated, one has both C and D drives under Windows, the other has a 'safe' that is 'locked' by a fingerprint scanner. How should I go about backing up the data in the safe? Do I really have to make a copy in the clear of all the safe data to back it up? That is very unattractive. What I have been doing to date is either one of two things. Either 1) copy the whole partition using the Linux 'dd' command or 2) copy a filespec using cpio, writing a gzipped file. In either case, I use a USB drive (not a stick). Solution 2 only takes about 20 minutes, solution 1 takes hours:( Unfortunately, in neither case do I have 100% confidence that I will be able to restore the data in the event I have to install all my favorite programs and data on a new laptop, or even on a new drive for the original laptop (though this seems easier). The description for most of the programs above does not even say how to accomodate my situations. So I cannot say which of any of them I would be willing to take the time to learn, much less purchase.
