"Does the BackupBox work?" It most definitely does, and "So Simple It Gets Used" is not an overstatement. My laptop is like a purse to a woman. It goes with me everywhere. Like everyone, I would wonder occasionally "what would I do if my hard drive crashed?", but for a long time, also, like most folks, I ignored really thinking about the consequences. It's like in my legal profession, where clients know they are going to die and that if they don't have a will, things will be a mess if they die before they get a will -- yet they keep ignoring the realities of life and putting it off.
Finally, I did something about it, and got a BackupBox. Installation was so simple, automatic and a breeze, taking only a minute or two. My 5 year old granddaughter could have done it! so, I had protection, but will it really completely restore everything, not just my data, but all my programs -- and will everything work?
Recently, I got a larger hard drive. Literally, after clicking once to do a full backup of my old hard drive, I put the new hard drive in, plugged in the BackupBox, inserted the Recovery CD, made a couple of clicks, and less than an hour later, everything on my old drive was on the new hard drive, and I mean "everything" -- working just as perfectly as it was with the old hard drive. Nothing else to do, no tweaking, no nothing! The BackupBox provides simple turn-key solution that really works simply and completely. I highly recommend the BackupBox."

The BackupBox is the only completely automatic PC backup solution.
That is why it is ...
"So Simple It Gets Used!"
"With my limited available time to devote to backing up data on my PC, yet very serious concerns as to the ever-increasing amount of crucial business and personal data I was saving directly to my hard drive, the BackupBox has been the absolute simplest method to giving me piece of mind. I now know I no longer have to fear a "hard drive crash" and the potential to lose irreplaceable digital pictures and business documents. I just plugged it in, and BackupBox did the rest."

Attention Microsoft VISTA user candidates: BackupBox Version 6.5 released to accomodate minor changes due to VISTA compatibility issues. The current production BackupBox software available from the Downloads link will auto-update with these changes (make sure you allow BBComms.exe through your firewall).
The only other issue is, according to Microsoft's MSDN development recommendations, is that you disable the User Account Control. To do this, go into your VISTA Control Panel, User Accounts, and then turn off User Account Control. As always, if you have any problems with this or other BackupBox software issues, please call our support line at +1 (970) 372-5002 or email support@redpawz.com.
In addition, for all of you preparing for a new VISTA upgrade to your existing system, we strongly encourage you to do a complete check of your system disk before the upgrade, a complete BackupBox backup via the Backup Now! or Backup Now! and Shutdown menu, and then disconnect your BackupBox until you are sure your system and software is completely compatible with VISTA. This way, if there are errors or issues with VISTA on your system, you can simply restore your earlier system. Call or email support if you need any help!
Our earlier VISTA advisory follows:
Microsoft's new operating system, VISTA, has introduced new "User Access Control" features to increase the security of the overall computer environment. These changes may result in permission dialog boxes during BackupBox Version 6 and earlier software versions. You can allow the Red Paw BackupBox processes to run without problems, however it can be annoying to have to provide this permission periodically. We have a workaround available, if needed. See below.
BACKUPBOX Support Alert: The BackupBox Version 6 and earlier has reported intermittent problems with VISTA that have been addressed in the upcoming BackupBox Version 7. We strongly encourage you to do a full BackupBox backup before upgrading to VISTA or, if you have just received a new PC with VISTA installed, that you do a full BackupBox backup and then set your BackupBox aside for savekeeping during the next few weeks.
If you have any concerns or issues, please call our support line at (970) 372-5002 so we can help address them!
