F-Secure Backup update clearly shows protected files

image

I reviewed F-Secure Online backup about a month ago (read it here) and found it to be both effective and unobtrusive. An update was installed that has had quite a dramatic effect on my Desktop as you can see on the right.

A coloured dot has appeared on most of the icons indicating whether or not the file has been backed up. I actually think this is quite a good idea because it can be hard to know whether files are protected when the backup software works quietly in the background.

Looks pretty neat I might have to try it out and give it a test drive.

I am wondering if you would be interested in reviewing a new CloudBerry Online Backup powered by Amazon S3 with friendly user interface, strong data encryption and scheduling capabilities. You can download the product at http://cloudberrydrive.com

Thank you for sharing this. I was looking for a good back up.

That is a good back up software. Is it free?

No I'm afraid not. It's £50 for a years license

ok, its cool that it has this feature but in the same time it can be bothering in my oppinion. Think about having a full desktop with green dots, not to convenient.
