Existing users, 
I finally gave up on this tool after using it for a few months to keep several large folder hierarchies backed up on a second drive. It often seemed to be doing more work than I would have expected given the sometimes very small deltas between source and destination. Files that had not changed would be unexpectedly copied and set to the current date. And after running it the two folder did not always agree on size. So I simply came to not trust it. The configuration for each folder appeared to become corrupted over time, necessitating their deletion and recreation. Finally there was not enough feedback during or after the backup to know what was going on.
After some more testing and evaluation, I purchased Synk Standard last week and have been very happy since.
YMMV

This is from the developer's web site:"Remember that backuplist only looks two levels deep when comparing files for backup (to save time) . This just means that if you select a folder in your list for backup, "backup list" compares every item in that folder with the corresponding item (if there is one) in your "Mybackup" folder and copys the item only if it has been updated since last backup. But, it won't go into subfolders and check every item there(ie two levels deep). If anything in that sub folder has been changed it will backup the entire folder."
This explains some of the behaviors I found odd. Consider this if you are intending to backup nested folders.Reply to This
