Product Description:
Deja Vu offers an automatic and seamless new approach to backing up your files. It's a preference pane that shows up in your System Preferences, and it allows you to schedule unattended backups of important folders, or even your entire system.
Deja Vu has been localized for English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Japanese, Ukrainian, and Traditional Chinese.
- Backup an unlimited number of folders.
- Perform your backup manually at the click of a button, or schedule your backups to run whenever it's convenient for you. Backups may be scheduled on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, and will be performed even if you aren't logged in.
- Save time by backing up only the files that have changed since the last backup.
- Perform remote backups to WebDAV, AFP, NFS and SMB servers.
- Synchronize the contents of folders.
- Accurately clone your OS X system disk, producing a bootable copy.
What's new in this version:
- Manual backups were not working reliably for some people, and for a different reason than in the prior release.
- File type/creator codes were still being reversed on certain Macs. Even more fixed than before.
- Safety Net archives are no longer zipped.
- The integrity of /var/db/volinfo.database is now verified and repaired if necessary. If this file becomes corrupted, it can cause problems when Deja Vu attempts to enable permissions on the destination volume.
- Improved registration reliability. It is finally possible to register Deja Vu from a standard (non-Admin) account.
- Comments may be added to the exclusions file (excludes.txt). Lines beginning with a "#" are considered comments.

I purchased online well over a month ago (via Kagi, paying with PayPal). I never received registration info and never received a single response, even though I emailed support@, info@, dejavu@ and sales@propagandaprod.com (all listed on their website for support/sales) 5 times. I'm ticked because the payment went through, I've been sitting here for over a month waiting to backup, and I seem to have no recourse (PayPal won't help other than send an email to seller since it was via Kagi).
It's one thing to have bad support. They basically just robbed me.

In response to the post below - I have been using Deja Vu for several years and haven't touched Leopard. 3.41 did indeed have problems with Intel type/creator and OS 10.4.11. 3.42 does fix the type/creator problem where files would not know what app created them, and thanks to the developer for spending the time to find it.
One outstanding bug I experienced on multiple Macs with 3.41 and earlier, I don't know yet if it is resolved in 3.42: a bug I keep reporting where it isn't backing up all the files, where a newer file is on the source computer and not on the backup. I've deleted backups completely and had them start over so often (the developer's only suggestion), and the bug keeps reoccurring under 3.41 at least. This major lack of reliability is my main concern.
In the last month, the developer has gone silent again, and I was hoping he would answer these data reliability issues I keep reproducing, and tell me if they are resolved in 3.42. His silence isn't helping my confidence.

Buyer beware: this looks like an abandoned product.
