Easy, automatic back-ups

If you want an accessible, non-threatening file backup service, take a look at Home PC Backup.

This app and related service is ideal for users with limited computer experience. Sign up for the service, download the desktop client for Mac and set Home PC Backup to automatically back up your most important files, photos and music. Then sit back and relax!

The backed up files will be stored on Home PC Backup’s own services, safe from harm. If the worst happens and you need to recover your backed up files, just hit the visible Restore button, and the files will reappear on your computer. The main Home PC Backup interface provides a summary of your back-ups and restores, while if you really want the gory details you can read the automatically-generated logs.

Although Home PC Backup is relatively simple to use, there isn’t any help documentation. Online, however, user-support seems easily accessible by both email and telephone. By taking a peek at the options in the lower left corner, you’ll be able to change the back-up schedule, the locations that Home PC Backup covers and some more advanced settings. The back-up schedule is very flexible, allowing you to back-up on a daily, monthly or continuous basis, although the latter option is probably excessive for most home users.

Home PC Backup is approachable and seems effective, making it perfect for the less-technical user who wants to leave data protection to third party and who appreciates accessible customer support. Anyone with a little more experience, however, will find the service lacking and are probably happy to stick with Time Machine or an alternative app like iBackUp.

Firmly aimed at Mac users new to back-ups, Home PC Backup is probably not going to be anyone's first choice.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
