I can't say that I've used ALL its features. In general, though, I would say that it makes a number of tasks easier, that you might otherwise do with separate utilities, or from the command line.

For me, the "killer" feature, which led to my purchase, was its easy method for moving the system swap file to a separate volume. In my case, I run the swap on an altogether separate drive (not just a separate partition), which I presume gives the maximum benefit. Again, this can be done by manually editing some config files, which I had successfully done before, but why bother doing that when Xupport can do it for you?
