Prosoft Data Backup Troubleshooting ReportConflict between Log Me In and Data Backup 3 - Version: 3.0.5, 9/13/2008 05:01AM PST

This conflict happened after downloading v3.0.5 and trying to delete v3.0.4 - it resulted in having to use the program in trial mode only, as my serial number was not remembered from one program opening to the next.

The support team at Prosoft sent me the solution in under 24 hours and it worked instantly!

I can recommend their support, as this is not the first time that they have given fast assistance over the several years I have used their programs.

I bought an external hard drive which had this software on it. I couldn't get the backup to work (totally my fault), and called their support. They were fabulous! The guy worked with me for almost an hour to make sure I had everything set up right, then walked me through setting up a clone image and a regular backup setup. It worked perfectly, and he couldn't have been more patient, respectful, or helpful. Amazing experience.
