[QUOTE="slash/, post: 746503, member: 73213"] This is a somewhat controversial topic depending on the technological experience of the user. For myself, I agree with your points and I've made that abundantly clear through my configuration. Backing up through copy and pasting trusted files is far safer than having a software automatically back up every piece of garbage accumulated in your folders. For some less experienced users that may forget to backup their files as often as they should, software could be more beneficial to them, but at a high risk of contaminating existing files. It's a double-edged sword. [/QUOTE]
