Bounceback Professional is the easiest and most effective utility program I ever bought for my PC. The steps of this software is simple; just connect a backup hard drive into your PC and install the Bounceback Professional. A very easy setup guide on the setup window (probrably 2 or 3 click of your mouse)will create a carbon-copy from your boot disk drive into your back up disk drive. Although the first hard drive backup takes at least an hour to complete, you don’t have to stand by with your PC. Bounceback Professional will do the rest for you after you complete your setup such as creating an automatic, routine backup schedule and setting up a drive destination.
I have also experience the recovery process under this software and I have to tell you that Bounceback works like a dream. The PC that I have to use the Bounceback Professional is the new HP media center PC (a1410n). I have no choice but to buy an external drive in this model because it has so many components inside this particular HP tower . Ironically, I have to perform a full disk recovery with that model because the Norton Internet Security 2006 software included in the computer package corrupt my operating system files. To make a recovery from an external hard drive, you must use the Rescue Disk included in the Bounceback Professional package. The Rescue CD will turn your DOS screen into a cakewalk by connecting the external drive into the USB port along with your mouse, monitor, and keyboard. Turn on your PC, insert the Rescue CD into the CD drive, and type “image” once the command menu is display on your monitor. Press “enter” after you type “image” and YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT IT(your computer of course). The Rescue CD will do the rest of the complications for you. Once the recovery is finish (approx. 1 hour), reboot your PC and explore the exact copy of OS without any problems. Amazing!
The new 2006 version of Bounceback Professional requires either internal or external hard drives that has an equivilent or more disk space than the primary hard drive. Although I have an external hard drive for backup, internal drives performs better with Bounceback. I prefer internal hard drive compatable towers with this product because if the operating system fails to start in your primary hard disk drive (HDD), your internal backup drive will automatically ‘take over’ you PC (I also use to have an internal hard drive). The only way you can tell you drive change is to go to the “My Computer” icon and see your disk drive switch in reversable order (example: E: and F: is on top of C: and D:)
Overall, this is a must have if you have a lot of stuff in your computer (games, photo, music, documents, etc.). If anything else happen to my files, at least I will feel comfortable when it comes to perform system recovery on my computer.

I am copying below the message that I sent six days ago, on August 4, 2007, to CMS BounceBack via its Web page from which one is supposed to be able to request technical support. Today is August 10 and I have never heard back. As I paid $39.98 for this product, and as it worked for not more than six weeks, I believe I had a right to expect customer support. Beyond that, the user interface is only so-so. I gave the product one star only because there was not an option to give it zero stars. (The BounceBack version I have is Professional 7.1, which is the latest version for Mac OS X.)
Message to BounceBack:
“I purchased BounceBack Professional in June and used it successfully each week until 7/30/07. While I was doing a backup that day, BB froze. I finally had to cancel the backup operation. Then BB wouldn’t work at all, so I had to erase the external hard drive and reinstall BB. I did this four times; every time, BB would back up the data to a certain point (18%, 34%, 58%, etc.) and then freeze.
I tried to call you about this on 8/2/07, but was on hold a long time and the number of callers ahead of me remained at three persons. I left a message, asking that someone call me, but I haven’t heard back from you.
In addition to not being able to back up my data now (and thus being unprotected), I believe that BB corrupted some of my files/folders while it was in the process of trying to back them up. Most notable is the corruption of iPhoto.
I would appreciate hearing from someone about my problem with BB.
Thank you.”

Version 6 worked well on my Windows XP SP2 computer system. Version 7 has never successfully completed a backup on the same system.
As some point (which varies from session to session) during the backup process, the program fails with an error message, then the program’s “Control Panel” just fades off the screen as the program closes.
Added May 4, 2008: I upgraded to version 8 several weeks ago. V8 is working well on my computer system. Five stars for version 8.

I have used bounceback express (6.12) for several years.
It came with my seagate usb disk.
Fairly easy to set up.
You can pick specific directories and exclusions lists.
I have happy till I recently noticed that some of my exclusion lists work while others do not.
Based on this bug, I am wondering if it is correctly backing all the files
that have changed.
I am going to look for something else.
A backup software that mostly works is not very useful.

I found the Bounceback program to be very useful except for one major problem. If you connect an external USB external hard drive to your system and disconnect the external drive without using the tray (not the safely remove hardware icon since it does not work with their system, but there own tray icon)- it will make your computer unbootable. This has happened to me 3 times and has literally cost me several thousand dollars in lost time and recovery of data. The third time a different computer would not reboot and when I was sure I had isolated the problem to bounceback I called them and they fixed the “defect” within minutes and said this was a “rarity” and it would be fixed in the next release. I think they should have sent an emergency e-mail to everyone of their users regarding this problem. I have now switched to another backup software program.
