Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system. I forgot to monitor the installation, sorry! After installation a detailed help page:

A new (2014)(Russian/Ukrainian? - digitally signed Vasiliy Makritzkiy) company without name and address. The email address protected by CloudFlare:

A blog, which was active with a few entries from March to August 2014. Even the paid standard version does not have "lifetime updates".

The program uses 7zip for compression and encryption. In the "about" all components from other companies are listed. that's good.

An easy to understand,clean, resizable interface opens. You define your backup task, files or folder, the backup destination, which can be a cloud, but also another folder, drive or ftp. In the options you should disable the automatic updates.

You can protect your backup, a .zip file with a password. The 7zip setting do allow to see all content, password needed for extraction. It would be better, if the 7zip call would add the "filename encryption".

In my test a nice and easy to use backup solution. Due to the nature, no incremental backups possible. Makes a good impression ... but:
You know that you give your cloud access data to Vasiliy Makritzkiy (you know him personally?) or some unknown company without name and address. I would not do this.

@Corno, yes and no.

It is a difference, if I access a cloud directly (which we know is insecure - until you do something) or via the login of an unknown company. In the first case I have only Microsoft, Google, Dropbox or whatever as a security risk - on the other part additionally a small unknown company in China, Russia or wherever.

Your misgivings about giving NN access to your data applies principally to all cloud storage.

I may be missing something here but isn't this a desktop based cloud backup program, not a cloud based cloud backup program hosted by the small unknown Russian company?

If it is a desktop program has it been caught phoning home with the cloud access credentials you've inputed into the desktop program? If it has not been observed sending your login credentials home then why say that you are giving access to your cloud storage to the unknown unaccountable developer?

If it has been observed sending login credentials back to the developer or caught doing anything untoward with the cloud data then please elucidate in detail and call it spyware if that is what it is!

Otherwise why the uncalled for sccaremongering? At least the company has jumped through the hoops necesary to obtain a key issued by a recognised trusted issuing authority which can be revoked if the developers program is proven to be some kind of badware... we don't have free updates or forced background updates or remote access via this program that had some kind of back door developer access so why the uncalled for potential libel against the developer who does not get direct access to your cloud storage through todays offereing?

If you don't need to backup to the cloud but want to backup securely and locally then just a compression file alone controlled by a.. BAT file will do.
In the dark ages of computing when the maximum hard drive size was about 20 MB all my programs were in a compressed state until used.
After use they were deleted with only the archive remaining.
The command line use allows files that have changed only to be updated in the archive, 7-zip’s help file has good information regarding the command line.

Although I have no interest in cloud storage nor have I used it, Karl’s point regarding giving the company your cloud access data seems very valid and something I would avoid.

Compared to my old method of storage today's download would be easier if you're willing to pay the price, I'll stick with my old method.
