I seriously disagree with those who are knocking this product. I have used it on a daily basis for over six months. I have had virtually no trouble with it since I put the learning curve behind me. The only exception was yesterday. I had a problem with the 3.2.1 update. The forum was down, so I used the email support address that is plainly displayed on the publisher's web site. FYI, it is dejavu@propagandaprod.com. I received a response within just a few hours of sending my help request together with a link to a download that cured my problem. I rate the responsiveness and quality of the service from this company as excellent because that has been my experience every time I've needed an assist. No exceptions. I have had a wonderful experience with Deja Vu. My backups have saved my skin several times as I have navigated the string of updates associated with OS X. I cannot say enough good about Deja Vu.

This is exceptionally unreliable backup software. DO NOT BUY IT!
I have encountered numerous problems (I am running Panther 10.3.9), including backups that are supposed to "mirror", but don't even closely do so, and scheduled backups that don't run on schedule!
My attempt to contact the developer by e-mail to find out how to uninstall this useless piece of bugware has been met with stone-cold silence ... not surprised, I guess ... live and learn ...

Doesn't meet first requirement of backup software, reliability! - Version: 3.2.1, 1/10/2006 09:10PM PST

This software is unreliable (got it with Toast 7).
It somehow got certain folders confused on target once. I have my folders named by month (mar05, apr05, etc.), and it dumped many different months of source docs into the jun05 target folder, overwriting actual jun05 target docs of the same name.
I started fresh and things seemed OK until 2006. When I tried my first backup of 2006, I noticed the % indicator wasn't going. It signaled a successful backup, but in fact, nothing was backed up. Tried rebooting, remounting target, etc., etc. Just seems dead in the water in 2006. Don't know if the change of the calendar year is the cause or just a coincidence.
Prop Production's support forum is down with no explanation (pretty sad). Roxio is impossible to deal with on things they didn't write.

There used to be some form of support on the developers forums, but these have been down for maintenance for weeks. My weekly backup is giving me errors every week, and I don't understand why. The Skype files in my Application support folder isn't being backed up for some reason. Probably doesn't matter to much, but I'd really like to find out why! Thankfully Apple has improved it's Backup software so I'm less dependent on Deja Vu now than I used to be.

I received a solution from the developer for the problem i ran into. All works as before now, and that is: great.

Deja Vu stopped working and isn't worth the money i payed for it. My request for help is being ignored. I'm switching to another (freeware) program that DOES supply support if needed.

You sold a buggy program, and now we must pay you to fix it?! - Version: 3.2.1, 9/15/2005 05:00PM PST

Version 3.1 was bundled with Toast, and four months later it's "upgraded" to 3.2 so the developer can charge fees to fix bugs. Look at the history of the product versions and tell me he didn't bundle a buggy application with Toast just so he could quickly turn around and hit thousands of people up for money. Pretty slick! For my money, I will stick with SuperDuper!

I've been using Deja Vu for several years and the only problems I've had were largely of my own making. Even so, the developer responded promptly to my inquiries, and solved the problem.
What I particularly like about Deja Vu is that it doesn't hide the backup in some arcane archive that only it can open. It just copies whatever files you want whereever and whenever you specify. This is a very handy for all sorts of reasons besides backing up.
I have no affiliation with Deja Vu other than as a satisfied customer.
