Claiming a 600% higher backup speed than a PREVIOUS VERSION causes one to wonder if this version is good, or the previous one was just really bad. Citing "up to" might mean that one time in a million, it hit a particular speed. Knowing the average backup speed, in MBps for a mixed collection of files including executable and documents would be more meaningful.

It would be helpful to know if the speed improvement is achieved using some unique method of file or packet handling. If it's just code efficiency, there's only so much you can do with that, and if the native file handling is used, that's a limiting factor that impacts all products not employing special techniques.

Two other suggestions: Speeds are referred to as higher or lower, not faster or slower. And percentage is intended to communicate a FRACTIONAL value. Using a percentage over 100 is always misleading; use 2-times, 3-times... 6-times, unless it's an EXACT percentage like "236%".

Installed nicely on Win XP SP3. Nice interface.
Made a backup of My Documents (12 GB), Backup time = 1 hour exactly.
Not impressed.
Made the same backup with EASEUS ToDo Pro 2.5, which was offered a while ago. Backup time = 17 min 20 sec.

I'm also missing Partition backup. This one is not for me, unistalled it again.

One of the issues I find with backup programs in general, is they will start and go for a long while then in the middle say they cannot copy one file bacically because the path is too long, and they abort. You fix that file path, then the same thing repeats and it finds another path that is too long. After half a dozen of these, I give up on the backup - too time consuming. This is quite frustrating. It would be better if they checked file path length first for all the files, and reported all the problem paths in a list so you could fix them all at once. I have hundreds of thousands of files organized into many categories and it very easy to get a file pathlength that is too long. Why don't programmers think of simple things like this that would make their programs actually useful? Does anyone know of a good backup program that will do this?

If your Gotd Ocster Backup Pro 6 install is lost and you have to data backed up, you can download the software for a 30 day trial period from Ocster's website.

I come to GAOTD often to see what's available for the day. I am always interested in the feedback that's offered. Even some of the suggestions are, usually, decent. However, I have tired of seeing the consistent posts that say "make it portable". If that's they only suggestion you can come up with why post it?

If the developer wanted to "make it portable" I am sure that it would say so at some point in the installation process.

As for this program, it seemed to take me just as long to backup as with any other program. A faster speed was nominal and I only backed up about 500 meg of files just to give it a test.

Easy interface to work with. But I probably won't keep this one as the other backup program I currently use, from GAOTD, is still working just fine.
