Installed and registered on a Win 8.1.2 Pro 64 bit system (*) without problems. Requesting the key you accept to receive their newsletter. And - a modern installer, never seen this.

This installs the "lite" version, which should be sufficient for those who want simply backup files or folders and not burn BlueRay disks or ftp files...

I simply forgot the yesterday's company info. Was focussed on Win 10. Excuse me...

Backup is always a good thing... To install and keep several backup programs doesn't make any sense in my opinion.

A well made modern looking interface opens. A bunch of options lets you define backup tasks: which file%folder backup to where? and when? with compression and excluding files, named .tmp. And so on.

It makes a good impression. I like the structured modern interface and the easy to define task - and the information, when something has failed due to...

If you don't have already a running backup software for files&folders than you can install this. It does what it claims.

Good is the way to work with installed plugins, for example a Firefox Profile plugin, which saves only that. Here you can download plugins:
http://www.backup4all.com/backup-plugins.html

And here the way to create your own plugins:

This remember me to an installed backup software which I have bought many years ago - and where I had the problem of not been able to read the created backups some years later. Once one of the best companies - the company does not exist any more...

So be aware with all propietary & special encrytion formats.

Uninstalled via reboot. I don't collect backup programs. And by the way i use for the special task of backup files and folder the freeware FreeFileSync 6.9 - works with folders with 150k(!) items within one or two minutes, depending on the amount of data to update.

Nice try but no cigar: any computer user who takes her / his data seriously shouldn't be wasting time on the "Lite" version of any backup software but trying out, instead, the full version -- as is the case here, where the developer offers a so-called 'Professional' version, a 'Standard' which is stripped down from the Pro, and finally this 'Lite' version, stripped down even further.

Sensibly, the developer makes the Pro version available for download on a fully functional 30-day trial, enough for any user to decide wehether it's worth having or whether the perfectly comprehensive Standard is the one to go for at $30 -- the product comparison list appears here:

http://www.backup4all.com/compare-products.html

For meaningful comparison purposes, however, the Lite version offered as a 24-hour giveaway needs to be checked out against some serious opposition from time-proven, highly regarded backup / synchronisation software from a specialist European developer which, although it operates primarily in the business customer sector rather than the domestic, has long made its commercial product available at no charge to non-business home computer users.

Synchredible remains one of the fastest, if not the fastest, multi-featured back-up apps anywhere and unlike some other big-name apps, doesn't lumber the user with a proprietary format such that if you lose the software, you lose access to your backup (moral: NEVER use backup software which isn't WYSIWYG.)

Thanks then, Softland, for today's offer, but as others have pointed out, this promotion would've made more sense had the so-called 'Standard' product been made available. As it stands, there's nothing in this free-for-a-day-only 'Lite' to tempt anyone away from the always-free Synchredible.

Check out this link for a comparison of the different versions...

This is not a program I need at the moment but I greatly appreciate the effort by the GOTD team and the offer by the publisher, Softland.

Hmmm....This version can backup to network drives but can't recover backups from network drives (upgraded versions of this program can). This is not a deal breaker but still disappointing as having to copy a several 100GB image to a local drive to perform the recovery is very time consuming. Again this is not the only backup software that cannot recover from network drives but other free backup solutions offer the same features or more (Aomei Backupper for example).

My take is give it a try if you don't already have backup solution & you dislike Aomei for some reason.

Decided to wait until Karl had published his comment as I was unwilling to download 80 MB for the lite version of a program.
Having to sign up to their newsletter was a dealbreaker for me and so I'll not be testing or downloading this program.

For those of you who do wish to use it but are unwilling to sign up to a newsletter using a temporary e-mail address may be useful.

I have found this useful in the past:-
