Additionally, you can encrypt your backups, just by clicking a check box, on the same window. You can target different folders, on a separate window.
The application will resume the backup job right away, when you reconnect your drive.īy default, the software is set to back up everything on drive C:, except for program, temporary and log files, virtual disk files and the Windows system folder. Memeo Instant Backup allows you to store your backups on removable drives and it maintains a record of the changed files, even if you unplug your storage device. Once you start the backup job, the software will monitor your files and it will back them up automatically, if you modify them. If you lose your files, you can restore them right away, by clicking a different button, located in the same area of the interface. You just need to select a local partition or a local drive and click a button to start backing up your files. You can select a destination for your backups, on the right side of the window. It displays the total sizes for included documents, pictures, audio and video files and miscellaneous files, on the left side of the interface. A colored chart lets you know what type of files you are about to back up. The user interface has a simple, but modern design and it is very well organized.
It works on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and it can be installed in no time.
You will not encounter any restricted functions during this period, so the software can be evaluated properly.
The application is free to try for 31 days. It will back up and protect your files, without any user intervention, each time you modify them. With Memeo Instant Backup, you just need to create and start a backup plan and let the application work in the background. There is no shortage of backup applications on the Internet and most of them are quite effective, but you have to make numerous settings and define countless rules, before backing up your files. This has worked for me after many hours of trying different things and searching endlessly on the Internet.Backing up critical files is one of the smartest moves you can make, especially if you work on an important project. Try using this path when defining the backup destination: The default path for me was in the form “Wireless IP address” (e.g ) - This DID NOT work if the connection was temporarily lost For example, if you use wireless and lose your connection briefly, the path is broken and won’t reset itself. When the WD software starts up and asks you to select the backup device DO NOT use the default settings as this path keeps “breaking” and won’t automatically reconnect.
It seems that the problem may arise depending on how you are configuring the WD software - it seems to be a problem with XP in general and not the WD software. It may only help those people connecting via wi-fi, but it may help others too. I have found a solution to this problem for people using windows XP sp3. Why don’t I just buy an entirely new product instead of using yours, then? WD, you guys need to start taking these issues seriously and do some REAL troubleshooting instead of just telling us to create a new backup. It’s time consuming and unnerving and it begs the question of “why am I using this crappy backup software if all it’s gonna do is lose my backup plan again and cause me to start from scratch?!” When you have almost a whole terabyte of data to backup and you have to do your backup all over again, it’s a huge pain in the **bleep**.
The “Advisor’s” suggestion of “if nothing else works, you’ll just have to create a new backup” is NOT a solution, especially since the WD Anywhere software has lost my backup path at least 2x now. I point the software directly to the backup folder on the backup drive where the software once was backing up, and WD Anywhere claims that there is no backup plan there, despite the fact that nothing has been moved or deleted from my computer/drive. I too have the same problem as the original poster with the WD Anywhere software losing the path for the backup plan.
