A great update to a invaluable utility.

Don't be fooled. There is very little reason to upgrade to this version. And I'm really not impressed with their marketing techniques. Take for example their website which promotes a $20 savings...and claims the software is now only $79. It's a lie. It's a mail in rebate..a mail in rebate which I mailed in, and just this morning got an email saying my rebate was denied. What??? Why would it be denied...I provided everything that the rebate form required.

Their official reason, "Missing Proof of Previous Ownership" Are you kidding me???!!! I submitted exactly what the form required me to submit... including the serial number from a previous version.

And now you are telling me that my rebate is invalid? I followed the instructions on the form perfectly. They are a bunch of criminals and liars...and will make getting your rebate so difficult so they don't actually have to HONOUR their promotion. It makes me sick and I am NEVER buying from ROXIO again...their software is sub par to begin with. Their upgrades are nothing worth upgrading too...and now this???? are you kidding me??????

I have been looking for a replacement for Retrospect for the last year, trying different pieces of software from the freewares (iBackup) to the high end stuff (netvault) and nothing had the simplicity and functionality that I was looking for. Until I stumbled upon ChronoSync. By far the best out there...in terms of functionality and usability. My biggest gripe with the other backup vendors out there, is their inability to properly perform tasks over a network, or configure for more than one workstation in a simple intuitive manner. SuperDuper for example makes it easy to create a scheduled sync, but editing that scheduled sync is impossible and you have to create a new scheduled sync (from scratch) it if you want to make any modifications. ChronoSync has none of these problems and I am very impressed with it's stability, scheduling, archiving, syncing and general backup features.

I had been messing around with cleaner 6.5 trying to perform some basic video conversion, and it would crash at every step...I tried to troubleshoot and isolate why this was happening, but to no avail. So after stumbling upon Compression Master, I thought I would give it a try... and WOW!!! It has a great interface, and was "blazingly fast"...with not even a hiccup I encoded 10 files, in both QuickTime and WMV. Highly recommended. Comparatively cleaner 6.5 is a joke.

I also updated to 9.0.2 and the update hung halfway through the process, so I restarted and ran it again. It appears to have installed properly, but now when I quit Flash, it hangs on quit, and requires a force quit.
