#SUPERDUPER UNSELECT SMARTBACKUP FULL#
A full description of every backup software package does not belong in Wikipedia. This page (including the links) is useful for someone researching backups and backup software. If you had taken a closer look, you would have also noticed that the links contain no text and the entries are sorted alphabetically. Since it is centralized, those "spam" edits, can be quickly noticed by someone who follows the topic and folded into the structure. Linking to list of backup software at the bottom or those pages keeps those pages clean by giving the spammers an appropriate place to describe their product. Wikipedia has several articles about backup related topics and they freqently attract the attention of spammers. You obviously did not spend much time evaluating your edit, since you left wikilinks to vanity/spam pages like Ahsay & Langmeier Backup. Instead of dozens of near-useless wiki-pages that are bound to be created in its absence, this page serves as a neutral point of view location to list, categorize and briefly describe any backup software package or service that may be at least somewhat notable, but not deserving separate wikipages. In your zeal to stamp out spam, you have decimated a fairly popular page that serves a useful purpose. Along with the many external links, you deleted the associated list items. GraemeL (talk) 19:43, 30 November 2006 (UTC) Actually, it is entirely inappropriate to delete half the page indiscriminately. Austin Murphy 21:45, 23 August 2006 (UTC) The mass external links are entirely inappropriate for any wikipedia article. This page could possibly prevent a plethora of uninteresting stub articles about insignificant backup software packages. Other wikipages dealing with backup software should wikilink here instead of enumerating a list of packages themselves. Since these edits are being done nearly daily and there is no sign of them stopping, this page is probably the best place for them. Everyone and their brother has apparently written a backup software package and wants to register it with wikipedia. Quarl ( talk) 00:10Z demerge įor some reason, backup software is a popular category to spam. I have merged the salvageable parts of this article to Backup software. Wikipedia is not a link repository, and that's all this page was. Austin Murphy 17:07, 28 September 2006 (UTC) Backup providers are "services" not "sofware" as such Managed_backup_providers is now merged and redirected to List_of_online_backup_services. The text may need to be edited a bit more. Austin Murphy 18:58, 16 September 2006 (UTC) Merge performed. That page would make a good section on this page and then we can have one fewer page full of spam links. Proposed: Merge Managed backup providers into this page. Should there not be a section for online backup solutions like ? -Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.107.92.135 ( talk Fabkins ( talk) 09:28, 16 March 2011 (UTC) Online backup solutions The entries are now going either going in in random order or people are incapable of putting them in Alphabetically. 39 Should a link to a performance comparison between five backup tools be included?.38 Testing Opendedup as backup solution, combined with rsync for daily.35 Back-up Software kindly requesting permission to stay here in this list.34 Comparison lists currently wikilinked in the 'See also' section.
