The Windows 95 client software is delivered in a professionally done InstallShield package. The average Windows user who can install his own software will be able to install it with no problem. The Windows 95 client will not back up a file while Word 6 has it open, but will get the automatic backup file if there is one. The interface for the software is a GUI using X on Linux. It was a bit disconcerting when I first saw it but is internally consistent, and I quickly learned to use it.
Tool tips make the software much easier to use.
Backing up a Windows 95 laptop showed an average rate of 20MB per minute and a compression ratio of 1.4 to 1. The main backup window shows a test backup to the null device. 65MB into the backup, the average data rate of 81MB per minute shows what the software could do on a Pentium II processor at 333 MHz. Note the error message with the yellow flag, which will be logged. Before you can even do a test backup, you must define a number of objects.
