Let a friend be your backup partner

Craig Crossman writes:

So why would you choose to do an offsite backup this way? Well for one thing, it's free. And secondly, you know who's got your back or more accurately, your backup. It's not off in the Internet cloud somewhere. It's a novel concept and given the cost, it's definitely worth a try.

Cucku Backup 1.21

Cucku Backup 1.21 is now available for download.

1.21 addresses a couple of problems found in 1.20: failure to install on certain Windows Vista configurations and failure to save updated partner or backup drive settings. 1.21 additionally improves the reliability of reconnecting to a partner after a connection is lost and improves responsiveness when calculating the difference between two versions of a file.

Cucku Backup + External Hard Drive

Cucku Backup provides local backup and online backup in a single package. The best disaster recovery plan is to send your local backup to an external hard drive and your online backup to a friend, family member or second PC. Jason Perlow describes exactly this model in his latest post:

How can you as an end-user kill the data loss monster for good? Well, it's as inexpensive in most cases as going out and buying a secondary USB hard disk for less than $100, attaching it to your personal computer, and installing a free piece of software such as Cucku Backup

Cucku Backup 1.20

Cucku Backup 1.20 is now available for download.

Our main focus in 1.20 has been improving performance. Remote backup runs faster, up to 58% depending on the connection to your partner. The user interface is also more responsive, in particular when pausing/resuming a backup and when displaying a large number of files.

There are now more options for viewing remote backup progress. In addition to seeing the current transmission speed you can also choose to show the progress within the current file or the overall progress for the remote backup.

Backup and restore results are now logged to the Cucku Backup Event Log (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer). This make it easy to review your backup history over time and see the size and number of files included in each backup. You can also now choose not to save the login details for your Cucku Account.
