Disasters happen: always have a backup plan
Well known, trustworthy, reliable companies can even make mistakes: McAfee recently pushed out an update to computers, causing large amounts of machines to become completely inoperable. Though these situations cannot be predicted or prevented, we can still protect ourselves by planning ahead.
In this fast paced world, technology has been the key to keeping up. A computer is no longer just a machine that stores our data because our data has become our life. We go through many measures to try and protect this data, keep it out of harm’s way, make it accessible yet secure but sometimes incidents happen that are uncontrollable. It is almost impossible to make your computer immune to such disasters, though with the right precautions you can recover from these situations with ease.
Genie Timeline 2.0 is an innovative, new software which can do just that. Genie Timeline 2.0 is the next generation of backup software based on Continuous Data Protection, it needs zero maintenance, zero scheduling, and uses up zero resources; never will you need to worry about your data’s security again. The key is simplicity; creating a backup takes 3 simple steps and you are on your way. Timeline will work silently in the background constantly monitoring your files for additions and changes. Set it and forget it; backups will be taken periodically without any user intervention and will have absolutely no impact on system performance.
You can restore your files easily, whether you have suffered from a complete system failure as in the case of many McAfee users, or you simply want to go back in time to view a version of a file you made earlier, Timeline’s user friendly process makes it easy to restore.
Disasters happen, plan ahead so that you can easily recover from them…

I have been evaluating the Genie Backup Manager Home edition. I have been using WinZip to backup selective files to DVD-RW 4.7gb media for offsite backup. However, with WinZip, it is done in pieces, e.g., 1) erase DVDs, 2) run backup (zip & encrypt), 3) find zip file, 4) setup to write to DVD…total lack of continuity, although solid product. I just found that Genie Backup Manager does this selective backup with continuity and flawlessly, and easy to extract the files.
Also, I have been looking for a good backup to replace my BounceBack which was a freebie with my Seagate TB HD. I do a full backup daily to the Seagate HD. So far, Genie Backup
Manager seems to be doing the same task as well. What I don’t understand is why GBM erases the previous backup before creating a new one. I would like to keep 2-3 full backups to a specific partition.
Overall, this product so far has satisfied my immediate needs and a very good candidate
for replacing two similiar products.

Hello,
I work with Genie-soft and would like to thank you for your kind words, regarding full backup jobs you can simply choose the option of appending a timestamp to your backup job’s name from step 1 of creating your backup job, this way you can create as much full backups as you like.
You can also check out our latest backup program Genie Timeline2.0, Timeline is a continuous data protection program that will automatically and continuously backup your files, your files will be constantly monitored for changes and additions and backed up periodically without any hassles or user intervention, you can also view and restore specific versions of your files from the Timeline explorer.
