I have tried Time Machine for my mac, and Love it. This software has been described as &#8216;the windows version of Time Machine&#8217; or <a href=\"http:\/\/altaro.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8216;Time Machine for Windows&#8217;<\/a> and I was a bit skeptical at first, but obviously very excited that something that amazing was FINALLY available for windows.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I should give you a little bit of background about me, and Backups.<\/p>\n<p>Never happens. I am the &#8216;I&#8217;ll do it later&#8217; kind of guy when it comes to backups, well ya know what? Later never comes.<\/p>\n<p>Backing up things is so boring. Time Consuming. etc.<\/p>\n<p>For most people, especially us Designers, our files are very freaking important. Like most people I&#8217;ve lost data. Hard Drives crash, stuff happens. But when it happens you usually don&#8217;t say &#8216;Oops!&#8217; This product should probably be called &#8220;OMFG Where is my stuff!?&#8221;. But anyway, whether it be that last design you did for your client, or the pictures of your kids, losing data sucks.<\/p>\n<p>Well I am happy to report, that having used Oops! on my windows PC for about 2 weeks, I freaking love it. I actually have been less stressed worrying about my data, which rocks! No more worrying about backing up data, I just know that its already backed up! and when I change stuff, its a done deal! Saved!<\/p>\n<p>Another great use of Oops!Backup is if you have a small team of developers in your business and need to keep your projects backed up easily without worrying about losing anything &#8211; lifesaver.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/2010-02-25_2035.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"2010-02-25_2035\" width=\"342\" height=\"469\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2724 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/2010\/02\/2010-02-25_2035.png 342w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/2010\/02\/2010-02-25_2035-218x300.png 218w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 342px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 342\/469;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I would recommend Oops!Backup to anyone on windows, that is looking for an alternative to Time Machine because its the best thing i&#8217;ve tried. Never having to worry about backups again is a good feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Installation is a freaking dream as well. All you have to do is install it, then select what you want to backup &#8211; and where you want to back up your files &#8211; I have mine backing up to an external hard drive and it works like a dream. It backs up regularly and I never have to touch it again. If anything goes wrong, just Restore back to a date in the past. Done.
