When was the last time you backed up your most valuable files? For most people the answer is "a long time ago", just because the backup process is too much of a hassle, but it really doesn't have to be that way. CyberLink PowerBackup offers a straightforward interface and all the features you need to run backups with the minimum amount of effort.
The process starts by selecting the source files to back up, which uses a familiar Explorer-style interface. Want to save the contents of "My Documents", say? Then just check the box next to that folder. PowerBackup then counts the number of files it contains and lets you know their total size.
You may also tailor what's included in a backup by building up a list of Exclusions, file types that won't be saved. If you're only interested in saving documents, for instance, then you might want to add exclusions for executable files (*.dll, *.exe and so on) -- click Options > Exclude > Add to build your own list.
After choosing your files, click Select Destination to define where they'll be saved. This could be your own hard drive, a network drive, even to CD or DVD (no other CD or DVD authoring software is required).
Leave the backup method set to "Full" (the Differential and Incremental options aren't available in this version). Finish off by clicking Back Up Files > Backup Now, your files will be saved, and you've just bought yourself a little insurance against any potential PC problems.
