Kings Security Dragnstore review

Dragnstore is a relatively new and little-known online backup provider that’s run by a UK security firm. It’s also the only one we’ve seen with a cute dragon mascot, so we gave it a chance to impress us, despite the company’s rather cluttered website. When you first run the application, you’re prompted to set up an account, which begins life as a 30-day trial. You either select the directories you want to back up or let it automatically select key directories such as your Documents folder. You’ll then be asked to configure a daily, weekly or monthly backup schedule to run at a certain time and day, although this can be disabled. Finally, it’ll ask you if you want to run an initial backup. Like other online backup clients, the Dragnstore application loads at boot time by default and remains active in the background, but it’s significantly slower to load and more resource heavy than any of the rival applications we tested. It’s simple to use, though, and doesn’t overwhelm you with extra features. The main window gives you just three options. Backup starts an immediate manual backup of your selected directories and Restore lets you choose any of your past backups for full or partial restoration.

Unfortunately, between its relatively expensive and somewhat confusing pricing, limited features and apparent inability to detect changes in files, Dragnstore compares poorly to online backup services such as Memset SquirrelSave.
