General Software Discussion / Free Program that Backs Up Your Data

« on: January 31, 2009, 03:31 PM »

If anyone wants an older version of "Titan Backup" for free, you can get it at Gizmo Richards web site here:

I have been using "SyncBack", a freeware program.

The main difference between the two is that Titan prompts you for categories of types of things to back up, like fonts, e-mail, web browser, etc.  SyncBack has no prompts for categories.  You manually set up profiles of what to back up.  You basically need to know everything you want to back up.

Screenshot Captor / 2 Bugs I Can't Live With on Screen Captor

« on: April 13, 2006, 11:22 AM »

I have used Screen Captor for quite some time.  Although it comes close to accomplishing what I need, there are 2 bugs that make it so it is basically unusable for me:

1) When I attempt to draw a second arrow with the "Arrow Object", it draws a box on the screen instead of making a second arrow.  The only way I have been able to add a second arrow to an image is to click on the first arrow, ctrl C to copy and then ctrl V to paste the arrow.

2) The option for "Text Object" has an option for border color but no way to change the line size of the border.  The only way I have been able to add a border around the text box that I can resize is to click on SpecialFx>Highlight Around Selection.  This option; however, does not follow the text box if you decide to move it.

Screenshot Captor / Comment on Screenshot Captor v2.09.10

This screen caption program works better than any other similar program I have tried.  I especially like the annotation capability.  I would only recommend changing two things.  1) On text boxes, I'd like to be able to adjust the line width of the border.  You can highlight around a section but it is not so handy when you want to move the text box.  2) I tried 3 web browsers on the "autoscroll cap" on the "grab Windows object".  The autoscroll feature didn't work on Firefox 1.0.7 or Opera 8.51.  It would only work on Internet Explorer 6.

I am using Windows XP Home Edition, service pack 2.
