In search of ideal backup utility
tslim:
But couldn't you use something separate just for registry?

I could. But I don't want to.

In fact,
SyncBackPro still miss a minor thing, it can't let me decide whether a folder junction should be treated as a file item or an ordinary folder (thus backup whatever pointed by it), instead it strictly treats folder junction as the former.
Anyway, this feature is quite minor, I don't really insist of having this one.
MerleOne:
I think there is also a new contender in the area : TK8 Backup (http://www.tk8.com/backup/), pro version preferably. It's a new product but very promising, in particular it has a very quick backup engine. I like the straightforward interface and the direct management of saved files. However, IMHO, this software is still lacking some important features such a verify, especially when burning on DVD. Future versions could be nice. I purchased a license through Bitsdujour rebate some months ago.
Armando:
Thanks MerleOne.
On the feature page, they say :
"Folder monitoring to auto start backup tasks when file change is detected"
Seems like a nice feature. Do you use it, and does it work well?
And how about backing up locked files ? I'm having problems using the volume Shadow Copy service, and wondering if TK8 Backup uses the same technique...

I have not tried this feature yet and about locked file, I suppose it is VSS since there is no extra software installed, which I also like.
Actually, the publisher responds always quickly to inquiries, I am sure he can give more details. If I can manage, I'll try to look deeper and let you know here.
