This is the easiest backup that I have ever tried. That's why many of home users are choosing this tool for their backup purposes. When you start it for the first time a wizard will guide you through all the options of the software. The wizard is very intuitive and even for a newbie, after one try everything will be clear.
There are two major operations included in the software: backup and restore. The backup can be saved on the local HDD drive or on a CD or DVD. It can be compressed or not. If you choose to be compressed the operation will take a while, but not too much in comparison to other backup softwares.
The restore function is much faster than the backup. You can choose to restore only the new files or fully by rewriting the existing files.
Pluses: very easy to use
Drawbacks / flaws: it doesn't have any virtual bootable device, so if the systems crashes, you cannot restore it
