Hinx Backup Easy is a free program for Windows that will back up your files to a remote server or local backup solution. You know, it used to be that if our entire system crashed, and we had made no backups whatsoever, we could always blame the paucity of backup software on the market (and the resident difficulties of the few backup solutions available).
Today, we can no longer foist the blame on the lack of backup software. In the past few years, there has been a literal explosion of backup software (well, okay, it's actually metaphorical: we haven't seen any real software explosions lately. If you have, be sure to send us the YouTube link).
Now that we have finally realized that it doesn't take a monsoon or class 5 tornado to ruin our system, and now that there are lots of backup solutions out there, there's no excuse to neglect backing up anymore.
Hinx Backup Easy is a program that will help ease the transition into backup of your important files. The interface is selectively sparse, with three main tabs separating individual program tasks. The first tab is for setting up local backups (e.g. to a removable hard drive). The second tab is for configuring your FTP server options. The third tab offers scheduling options, along with the option to backup only the files modified since the last backup.
You can easily perform set-and-forget scheduled backups, and select only the particular folders and files you want backed up.
So what are you waiting for? Download Hinx Backup Easy and get to backuping.

The link hooks onto (or through) freetrialsoft.com, which is a spy site.
Nice try.

Hmm...not sure where you're seeing that freetrialsoft link. Checked each link, and they're all pointing to legit sites:
http://www.hinxsoft.com/index.php?page=bueasy
or
http://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/free-windows-backup-software/
Those are the only links in the post.

Maybe a false positive, Simon.
My ZoneAlarm Suite popped the box with a "Spy Site Blocked" notice attached to that freetrialsoft.com address.
That is all I know.

Simon, these are the actual messages ZoneAlarm Security Suite stored in its Spy Site Blocking Log:

Are you suggesting I set an Expert Rule to let this png go through? Because I'd like to learn something else in the process. Please advise. Thanks.
