I'm having a problem with the preferences. No matter what I select -- Run as Root in particular. I hit the Apply button, get a Tiger password dialogue box, and FS disappears.

I am particularly interested in FS because it can do actual syncronisation -- both ways like CopyAgent back in the good old days. Most of the feedback here is good -- I just can't get it to work.

Also, I'd like to see a time restricted trial period instead of 40 files. I need to sync. my Users folder and I've had another back-up app. fail the test and another that does it -- but only backs up one way. FS sounds like the back-up utility for me but I'd like to be assured that FS will deliver before I lay out US$ 40.

So, since I haven't been able to run FS, is Run as Root the same as fixing permissions in other apps.?
