Concerning Genie Timeline ( http://www.genie-soft.com/products/genie_timeline/default.html ), may it consume too much system resources during the everyday tasks? As a home / SOHO computer user I make or edit very few files over the week so having a backup software running on the background all day long may not be a good idea--I do not know. I figure that a backup job scheduled weekly should be more than enough. |

Also, Genie Timeline cannot use DVDs so I'd have to buy an external USB hard drive--which may already come with bundled backup software. |

I also like the fact that the backup job is copied to the media (external USB hard disk) whenever it's plugged in. Also, I read on the Genie Timeline website that it's integrated in the Windows Explorer, but I do not know if this could lead to an unstable system or provoking crashes. Usually after a Windows Update. |

Would a full system backup job over an external hard drive scheduled weekly be a better option than backing up my user data several times every day? |

I read on the specifications of both Genius programs that they do require Flash Player to be installed on the system. But could a required upgrade of Flash Player make the Genius software somehow more likely to crash or be unstable? |

Eventually, I could not find anything related to Windows Seven compatibility in their website. Thus, what must I assume? |

We have 3 PC's in our house.
I want to do full image backups. Nothing fancy. Just manual backups every now and then. Do any of these packages (Genie, Acronis, Ghost, etc.) give me a way to use them on multiple PC's or will I have to buy 3 licenses? |

Works like a charm, if you want to take rare full backups of multiple machines, just for disaster recovery. Glad I didn't have to buy any software! (much less a license for each PC in the house!) |
