    Amazing! Once you figured out the basics, very simple to use. It lacks of tape supoort to be a repalcement for business apps.

    6 stars!

    Scheduling can be set up with Windows Task Scheduler. That's not a big deal for me.

    Lack of built-in scheduler ruins this otherwise capable program.
    Backup system slightly confusing and destination files stored in strangely named folders for no apparent reason.

    I tried this and is a little confusing to use at first and even when I set it it was still. Problem was it was very slow and the progress indicator seems to be somewhat inadequate. Open source with incremental option is good, but I think other soft may work better, though one with incremental for free I have not seen other than this.
    Worth keeping an eye on.
