Exiland Backup Portable (no longer free after v6.0)
Re: Exiland Backup Standard - Giveaway
The standard version of Exiland Backup (Exiland Backup Feature Comparison Chart) is offered for free at SharewareOnSale- the offer will be available for about 34 more hours. The giveaway is for the installer version so I won't take advantage of it. I have tested Exiland Backup Free several times and I like it- the program is very light, well-designed, robust and reliable. The free version is good enough for my needs. It seems it lacks support for volume shadow copy.
Exiland Backup Free can easily be made stealth- just change temp folder location, disable auto-start and disable update check, screen:
I did some basic editing of the database entry, I think it needs some more redacting to meet the criteria of this site. I upvoted the program but it is still private. I think it deserves to become public since Exiland Backup Free is portable and stealth, easy to use (the GUI is clean and well-organized), feature-rich, light and clean (no ads, no nags beside the initial Upgrade screen on first run- I will test it more thoroughly and if and if there are other nags I will notify the community).
I have some ideas for tiny enhancements and I may contact the developer.
However I noticed that the developer had released two versions of Exiland Backup Free with the same version number- 4.7 (file version - 4.7.0.0):

Re: Exiland Backup Free
Unfortunately Exiland Backup Free has switched from freeware (version 4.7) to registerware (version 4.8), screen:
I immediately downgraded to version 4.7. After a while I will check again where there will be other nice surprises like time-bombs or nags.
Confirmation on exit cannot be disabled from "Settings" which is quite annoying, screen:
My initial enthusiasm about this program subsided so I will keep using the really free (no nags, no registration prompts) backup and synchronization tools I have.

Re: Exiland Backup Free (portable)
exiland,
Sorry I didn't welcome you to the site earlier.
This site tends to prefer programs that don't require registration. There are a few reasons for this including some concerns about what happens to registerware should the dev disappear. This has happened a lot over the years so it's a concern at least for me. There is however no policy against adding registerware to the database.
A note has been added to the entry.

Re: Exiland Backup Free (portable)
I didn't see a nag prompt when I first launched the program. Does that show up in a day or a week? Or after a few launches?

Re: Exiland Backup Free
@exiland
You said exit prompt was fixed but I didn't find an option to disable it:
Good luck
I am not going to discuss what users might be interested in. I am not interested in using registerware programs. Of course I might have used temporary mail services but I have no time to waste. After my preliminary tests of Exiland Backup Free I was impressed but after the release of registerware version 4.8 I do not plan to play with this program any more. The generous 18% discount didn't tempt me either. Since I do not promote registerware programs I will downvote the database entry.exiland wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 1:14 am smaragdus,

Re: Exiland Backup Free (portable)
CTRL + I puts a smile on my face as no more nag registration screens afterwards, I was really distressed to feel like I wouldn't be using this backup gem anymore after it quickly became my favorite over similar ones due to shorter time to finish tasks.

Re: Exiland Backup Free (portable)
Help me out here: when does the registration screen appear and when do you pres CTRL+I to bypass it? I'd like to include that in the entry.
Re: Exiland Backup Free (portable)
Yes, when the registration screen appears, press CTRL+I
Please include that in the entry.

Re: Exiland Backup Free (portable)
One example of disappearing registerware is WinTabber, a great program which went trialware after being freeware and now the website is dead and there's no way to register: https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1329 / http://www.wintabber.com/
I'm not saying registerware or trialware is a bad business model and should never be used, I'm just saying it's frustrating for those of us trying to promote freeware.
Question 2 has been answered, thanks got that. Question 1 is still "when does the registration screen appear?" After a week? After launching 10x?"
