Ever heard of Genie-Soft? They make backup software for home and business, and I am going to let you into a secret.

Genie Timeline has been released as a free version. It lacks some of the functions of Timeline Home 2.1, but if you are looking to backup important stuff on your computer, it could not be simpler.

All you have to do is set it up via the wizard, and from that point on, it is just one touch backup. It checks every 59 minutes for any changes, and even detects and warns you if your backup drive is not present.

I will not fill up this blog with screen shots because the Genie-Soft websites has that exit well covered. In fact, it has all exits covered.

Ready for this? 3 – 2 – 1.. http://genie-soft.com/free_products/free_timeline.aspx It works with Windows 7 too.

Now the secret is out and you can tell all of your friends/family/work colleagues, even people you don’t like.

OK OK.. here is one screenshot..

Timeline free
