I'm a programmer and I thought Acronis Trueimage is the worst but now suddently it looks much better than Paragon Backup & recovery:
1) I'm not able to change the source files(add/delete) when my backup is set to incremental version
2) In every new incremental version it is changing some common files leading me to copy paste every bit of files again and again. In Acronis I will need to copy only single file.
3) If I want to recreate a new backup( say after 50 incremental versions) then there is no facility to import settings from earlier backup. From scratch I'd need to select all those source files etc
re: Settings
there is a way, when starting program, to set up include/exclude settings that are global (still selectable in individual runs), prior to starting a specific job.
start the program, go to advanced mode, select the HOME buton, and under there are settings, and you can select some global options
hope this helps
