I have mixed feeling about this program. Because I bought another product from the developer, they kindly offered this second application a few months later - for free. So that was fantastic.
The backup function works well and in certain backups it performs exactly what I would want. But there is very little ability to tweak the configuration. You nominate a source directory and a destination, and a schedule. It is impossible to stop it using a data-like sub-folder in the destination directory - YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.
In certain situations I like this functionality and it works well. On other occasions I just want to back one directory to another rather than to a sub-directory.
Ideally I would like to be able to synchronise 2 directories. So maybe I should be using something else, but to me a backup tool should also be able to synchronise. At the moment I am using backuplist+ for this syncing purpose.
