simple program and easy to understand: It just copies whatever file you add or change to a given location (preserving directories), it works over a network. Simple is great. It can also make backups of versions of each file. But automatic backup has two HUGE problems: 1) It never ever deletes any file on the backup side. This means that when you will restore your system you will need hours to delete the ghosts of any files that you moved, renamed or deleted! Iomega did not answer me about any plans to improve this. 2) The backup process runs AT ALL TIMES and eats (just backing up 700MByte of “My Documents”) 40 Mbytes of memory!! There is no way to ask it to go away when it is not working. Conclusion: A good idea, but practically a nearly worthless program in its current state.
