With the SimpleSave DVD, Memorex has taken much of the hassle out of backing up your files. Just pop it in your DVD writer and let this all-in-one backup solution do the work of finding your files and burning them to disc. If you'd rather take a more hands-on approach, the software also gives you the ability to limit your search to certain folders and select additional file formats. Last but not least, SimpleSave offers some limited restoration capabilities as well as ways to view, print and share the files stored on the disc.
That being said, SimpleSave isn't perfect. The way folders are organized when viewing and restoring your files can make it hard to find the photo or video you're looking for. I also found the restoration process to be a bit too limiting for my tastes. Instead of giving you the option to restore your files back to their original locations, they are copied to a new folder on your computer. The biggest issue consumers will have though, is price. With Memorex's SimpleSave Photo discs costing about $15 for a pack of 5, those doing frequent or large backups will probably be better off with a traditional backup system.
