That warning is just a way for the company to cover their a**. I use the
program ritually at work to back up data that I absolutely cannot lose. Of
course, as mentioned, I use it at home as well. But, work is where the data
would cause a lot of grief if lost.
About the only risk here is the backups going back. It does nothing to your
system. Of course, like any software I recommend, please don't hold me to it.
If it gives you a problem on your system, I'd hate to be blamed. So, as the
company says, use at your own risk. But, I do use it often, love it, and if it
wasn't freeware I'd actually pay for it... that's how much I love it. I tried
the other one I mentioned, WinBackup, and I didn't like the way it saved the
backups in its own compression... meaning you need WinBackup to restore it.
With Back It Up, it compresses using ZIP, so any zip program can open it.

Troth, Hi. What follows is the EULA of the BackItUp program you recommended.
All my paranoia originates with the great info in this group, so I feel
justified in asking once more: Do you know this program? This is something I
can trust?? Obviously I'm not expecting an iron-clad guarantee, but if you
don't know the program, maybe I should just skip it? TIA, Sharon

Hi there!
§1: You install the program(s) on your own risk. If you choose to install
the program its then your own fault if any damage is done to your
computer or softwares after installation or when you run the program. §2 If
anything else happens, §1 is in force.
ps. Executable files is compressed with PEComapct. This can make anti virus
programs that doesn't know about this compress format to report "suspicious
virus" in file. Info about the PECompact found at:

| Several backup programs on the market to make the backups. WinBackup, by
LIUtilities, is a popular one, but will cost you 40 bucks. A free one that I
like and I use is called Back It Up, which can be attained as freeware from
