"didn't work"
May 07, 2015

By rdenxx
|
Version: Genie Timeline Free 2015 6.0
Prosnone, didn't work
Consdidn't work
SummaryInstalled, nothing happened.
Could pull up the restore menu, but no way to set/start/do backup.
My guess is Windows Firewall (outbound firewall enabled) blocked it, but if a program can't at least partially run without being connected to the internet it's crap (Minimal function is at least enough to ask for permission to connect).
It's not that I'm one of the unlucky on metered or throttled internet, but regardless I hate programs that just assume it's OK to connect - for all the increasing bandwidth we get these days software companies seem to assume this means they can use it up and just forget about privacy.

"A P.O.S. - Simply doesn't work."
May 07, 2014

Version: Genie Timeline Free 2012 3.0.3.300
ProsThe software gives the user the impression that it is actually backing up your important files.
ConsThe software doesn't actually backup all of your important files. It skips or misses, seemingly randomly, files under directories that are supposedly part of the Genie backup. This was a complete waste of money.

"Decent features but some annoying functionality"
November 22, 2013

By jennytalia
|
Version: Genie Timeline Free 2012 3.0.3.300
Pros- it will allow you to select a Network drive as your backup location (in fact any drive it can see), which other programs won't.- simple interface that simplifies the process of setting backups.- can automate your backups.
Cons- if you use the 'smart types' it seems to want to backup ALL of those files, regardless of whether you selected a specific location to backup or not.- if you select a pre-existing location to save your backup's it forces you to add a sub-directory. If you want to mirror directories like I do, this pretty much makes it impossible.
SummaryBetter than no backup at all, and it's free - but I couldn't find a way to 'mirror' my directory structure without adding in a stupid sub-folder - so it wasn't for me.

"CRAP: RUN AWAY FROM GENIE SOFTWARE"
October 21, 2013
|
By waskb
|
Version: Genie Timeline Free 2012 3.0.3.300
Pros- Great Idea- Nice UI- Price is fair
Cons- A lot of bugs- Program crashes constantly- Once they release a new version you get no more support to the ond version. If you need to reinstall or if you get a bug (which is common) you are in trouble- As a consequence of item above, they keep forcing you to upgrade and offer you a discount to that (I don't want to upgrade, I just want the version I've paid for working fine)

"Puts checkmarks over icon of any backed up file"
April 10, 2013
|
By listener7878
|
Version: Genie Timeline Free 2012 3.0.3.300
ProsNice UI. Installation was quick.
ConsYou must upgrade to remove the checkmarks. After uninstall and deleting all registry keys found from "genie," checkmarks still appear over any files I had backed up. Also, a genie "backup" tab still appears in any file's properties, even though the software is no longer installed. Now, I emailed support and have wasted 2 hours of my life with this free software.
SummaryDon't install, there are other options.

"G.A.R.B.A.G.E"
October 29, 2012

By SonyEverything
|
Version: Genie Timeline Free 2012 3.0.3.300
Pros- The idea is great- The previous versions worked great- You have another option!
Cons- Genie as a company is completely retarded- When I attempted to PURCHASE the software they asked me to scan and submit them my PASSPORT, DRIVERS LICENSE, BILLS and all this other private documentation meanwhile I was paying via PAYPAL!- Any company who chooses to fill the void left for sound, block level backup will make a killing because Genie are not the guys.
SummaryUSE OOPS!Backup It's your only other option for block level (time machine-like) backup

"a great set it and forget it backup program"
August 13, 2012
|
By kenny555
|
Version: Genie Timeline Free 2012 3.0.2.200
ProsYou can select folders and exclude anything from same. It backs up very fast. Use turbo mode for the first time, then switch to standard after. The program looks for and makes changes every 8 hours, or you can click manual any time. Restore function is like system restore for files. You can choose to restore a file from various dates.
ConsFree version only backs up personal files/folders, and not system. Have to upgrade(pay) for that feature. A couple of times it stopped working, and I had to restart the program, but it worked fine after that.
SummaryI use it as a secondary program for backing up personal files/folders. I use Mac Reflect for system image backup. Genie is good for retrieving a file or folder you may need to get in a hurry.

"Good concept, but the software misses it's target goals"
April 28, 2012
|
By svenvandevelde
|
Version: Genie Timeline Free 2012 3.0.1.500
ProsIt DOES perform a timeline backup.Backup DOES work without much disturbance.It's concept allows for simplicity and user friendliness.Genie provides good end-user support.Nice user interface.
ConsIt is a very dangerous tool. It does not a good job, due to the following reasons:- When you have multiple users on the same PC, it will only perform a backup of the files of the user the backup is installed for.- Intelligent backup is dangerous. It will only backup the files with the extensions you request. The list of extensions is not complete.- As a result, it consumes your backup drive space with files you don't want. Intelligent backup works for ALL your connected drives, even the xTB drives which you don't want to have included. - There is an 'exclude from backup' function in the tool, but it is hidden, not user friendly. - Recover sometimes fails for a number of files without reason. The tool crashes when recovering, and you have to restart.- The "system recovery" option does not do a good job, and it is VERY SLOW.- Files are spread out over the backup library between the "intelligent backup", and the "selective backup". Confusing
SummaryI am a registered user for 2 years, and have purchased 3 licenses. I would advise to consider very well the cons when doing a backup. Updated on May 3, 2012On top of what i wrote, there is another con, the tool does not recognize file renames, which results in the loss of versions of files that you rename!
