The VBScript File and MS-DOS Batch Files generation features might be a little more involved for novices, but the rest of the program's feature are pretty straightforward. The program includes a scheduling feature, which simplifies the process even further for the user. It took a little longer than our first test, but was successful all the same. Likewise, we were able to create a backup image of a hard disk and save it to a DVD. As soon as we gave it our permission to do so, the program successfully backed up our selected files to our USB. From there, we were able to select the file types to include or exclude, as well as select the backup location, including a hard disk, network folder, or CD/DVD. But beyond that, we found it extremely easy to add files using the built-in wizard. We did find a misspelling, which for a paid program, is a pet peeve of ours. The user interface uses colorful command buttons and tabs for easy navigation. It worked very well for us, but novice users might be a little lost with some of the more detailed file settings. Macrium Reflect is a program that offers external backup capabilities.
