Reviews for Genie Timeline Home 2016
This program seems to belong to the file backup category. If this is indeed the case, it should not boast about being able to backup system files. While there’s no doubt it can do that, nobody in his right mind would restore old system files. Repairing the system to a previous, cleaner state is the exclusive realm of imaging software and Windows restore points.
Genie Timeline seems to be meant for saving documents, media files, mail and such. One interesting feature is the ability to backup files when they are open and in use. Not all file backup programs can do that. If you plan to backup on a schedule (and you should), this is a very valuable feature to have. Otherwise, you need to schedule backups while the computer is not in use. Unless you do that, you might end up never saving that most precious file, because it’s open most of the time when you’re using your computer. Databases for mail programs or note-taking applications come to mind.

Doubtful! I had a previous version running for a couple of months. When I wanted to restore, it was impossible. The hard disk had errors making it impossible to get data from the backup. “Genius” had not even realized this and continued its “real-time and continuous data protection” writing to the unusable disk. I wrote an email to Genie9 asking whether they would fix this incredible defect in a later version of the software. But never got an answer ;-)
Since its inception Genie Timeline Home has climbed up the security software ladder to establish itself as one of the leading backup and home security software specifically designed to benefit home users. Being a software for home use, Genie Timeline Home 2015 was designed to feature basic controls that the user could understand and still perform a whole range of functions like every other backup application.
Backup process
The Genie Timeline Home 2015 backup and security software allows you to back up your files in three easy steps. First of all choose the storage space to store your back up files. It could be a hard drive, a networked computer or an external drive. After choosing the drive you need to select the type of files to back up –this could be images, text, documents or multimedia files. Finally, decide whether you want to store the backup files in their original size or you would like to compress them.
The next step is to check your backup schedule and make adjustments if any. You can choose the date and the time and make any adjustments that you feel are necessary. If you usually make a lot of changes on your files then it would be appropriate that you schedule backups after every 30 minutes or less. Apart from time, you won’t come across many other customization options –which justifies its stand as software designed for the basic users.
Performance
Machine performance is an area where the manufacturers of this software seem to have delved into and made a software that doesn’t interfere negatively with the activity graph of an average PC. Very few people have powerful home PC’s and they need software that won’t overwork their computers. You can do any other activity including watching games and playing HD videos while Genie Timeline Home 2015 runs in the background without any issues.
Pros
Genie Timeline Home 2015 is one of the easiest software to use. It feature an interface that is rich in graphics and has a few yet essential commands. You can adjust your backup list or change backup options without any hassles. It performs backups in timely fashion and stores files, whether compressed or not, in their best quality.
Con
The Genie Timeline Home 2015 user interface is perfect for those who do not know quite a lot about software, however, for those who need to take total control over the way their software runs, you are in for a rude disappointment.
Conclusion
One thing that stands out with the Genie Timeline Home 2015 is its ease of use. It has a backup wizard to guide you through the installation and backups are automatic. However, for the advanced use, this is not the software you are looking for. It won’t allow you to do any adjustments as you please. All in all, it performs as it promises.
