Prosoft DataBackup Troubleshooting ReportHangs at "Connecting to Executor" - Version: 3.1, 11/1/2009 05:15AM PST

Well, from the looks of things, this problem may have returned. I have an up to date Leopard installation, including all patches (1 Nov 09) and the software will not completely load. I'm happy ProSoft seems to be monitoring this (from the 2007 post anyway). Will look elsewhere for an immediate and temporary solution, but since I bought this product, I'm hoping there's a solution on the way.

Prosoft DataBackup ReviewThe software is just fine... - Version: 3.1, 9/16/2009 03:59PM PST

The problem with "Warning..." type reviews is that the author assumes what happened to him is universal and will happen to everyone. That is seldom (not "never" but "seldom") the case, whether it's this software or something else.

I've been using DB for several years without any such problems. But I can't say "Buy this! You will NEVER have problems!" either.

So, to balance things out: this product has worked flawlessly for me for years now. Hence: 5 stars.

I was new to the programme and wasn't sure exactly how to proceed. The support at Prosoft was perfect and advised me exactly what to do, step by step. I now have a perfect clone of my hard drive and the confidence and knowledge to update it when needed.
