NerdsBackup
from Acpana Business Systems Inc
Overview
NerdsBackup is a software program developed by Acpana Business Systems Inc. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 33 files. The installed file update.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 7 (SP1). While about 63% of users of NerdsBackup come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada and South Africa.
