Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Your computer is as unique as you. Most files and settings on your PC are critical to your everyday life. Unfortunately your PC can have a range of disasters at any given time that put your valuable data at risk of being damaged or lost. Your only protection against these disasters is to keep copies of your files and settings backed up for safekeeping. Alohabob PC Backup is a quick and easy solution created to protect your precious data.

What do you need to backup?
Alohabob PC Backup makes it easy for you to select which data is most important to you on your PC. With its unique AIDE (Automated Information Discovery Engine) technology, Alohabob PC Backup ranks every file and setting on your PC and allows you to quickly find items that you need to backup. No need to spend hours figuring out if you need to backup that unknown file on your PC.

Product Features:
The latest release of Alohabob PC Relocator Ultra Control includes several new Smart features that assist the user during the entire upgrade process, including:

SmartRank
With SmartRank you can easily determine the critical files and settings to backup based on our unique AIDE technology.

SmartSelect
The average PC has 30,000 to 50,000 different files in hundreds of different formats making it extremely difficult to know what is important to backup on your PC. With SmartSelect the user doesn't have to be an expert to figure this out. With both search and ranking capabilities SmartSelect offers users even more power to quickly and easily choose critical data.

SmartTemplate
With a comprehensive set of 15 templates, Alohabob PC Backup allows you to quickly select only those items of interest, and create your own templates to reflect your unique backup needs.

SmartDetect
Once you complete your first backup, SmartDetect recognizes and copies only the files that have been modified since the previous backup session.

Shortcuts
Use PC Shortcuts to easily select specific common files to backup such as email, pictures, music, videos, finance files, etc.

SmartSearch
If you need to backup a specific file, SmartSearch offers an intuitive way to locate any particular file or folder on your PC and automatically add it to your backup

Easy
Based on our easy-to-use migration software - Alohabob PC Relocator - Alohabob PC Backup offers a simple and intuitive interface that allows you to easily locate and backup the most critical data on your PC.

Smart
Alohabob PC Backup offers three Smart features to make the backup process faster and more efficient.

Complete
With Smart features, easy customization, and a rich feature set Alohabob PC Backup is the most complete backup solution in the market.

3.0 out of 5 stars A few obvious things missed, October 10, 2004
By Mark Maisonneuve (Eastpointe, MI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
1) PC Backup doesn't recognize my External Harddrive connected through a USB 2.0 port, under Windows XP Professional, even after a re-boot. I have to Browse and point to it each time the software starts up.

2) It cannot run an incremental back-up on demand. Instead, an incremental back-up must be scheduled.

3) It is slower than Backup which comes free with Windows XP.

If you are dissatisfied with Windows XP's Backup, and don't find the features mentioned in the reviews above compelling, I recommend to continue searching for something better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, October 27, 2005
All I wanted was a way to identify some files, remember which ones so every time I wanted to backup, I would press "go" and the backup would start. AlohaBob was too "smart" for my use. First, it has this intelligent file finder that finds what is likely to be backed up. I indicate that I want to select my own files (which it lets me think I can do). Then thinking it would bring me to browser window -- no, no, no...it still needs to waste time doing its indexing as if I had selected the "smart find". I then manually select my files (great!!). In trying to save the "template" of what files I wanted to backup, it requires that I make it a reoccurring backup with selected backup frequency (YUK!!). I want to back up when I get to it (about once a month, not when it wants to -- I am backing up to a DVD which I need to put in the drive). OK, so now I am over that and the backup begins - GREAT!!! Upon returning into the application a month later, I can not select my saved "template" to "run now", it will run when it is scheduled to run :( So...I need to repeat the whole process just to get the same files as last time backed up. I exchanged emails with the company and they understood but were not going to "add" the features I described. Oh well - it looked like such a promising product. Now I need to find another that satisfies my requirements.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very flexible. OK if you just accept all the defaults., December 18, 2004
By maxfli (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
I really dislike this software. I'm the type that likes to customize everything and this program just is not made that way. First, when you initially select files and folders, your disk choices are "C:" or "ALL". I have several disks and I want to pick and choose, but this program makes that really difficult. Then you have to pick a destination where the files will be backed up. Choose carefully, because you won't be allowed to change it later! And if you want to do incremental backups, be sure to schedule it before you do the initial save, because you can't do it later. Basically the entire job, future backups and all, must be defined completly at the beginning and can never be changed without completely starting over.
