I gotta say, if what the previous reviewer (neuaddbwll_dotmac, below) said is true, that's one of the scummiest things I've ever heard a developer do. Such a dev should be boycotted. I guess it doesn't surprise me too much though, considering what an outrageous price they charge for this ($100!). These days you can get a bootable backup app that's wayyyy more modern (in other words, doesn't look like a Windows 98 app) for half the cost.

For instance, Synk Pro (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31146) is a terrific app that only costs $45. I bought a license for it maybe five years ago, and they'll still respond immediately and answer any question or solve any problem by email or phone (though I only ever contacted them twice -- both times because I had screwed up - not the app). Or even Carbon Copy Cloner (donationware, so it's free if you have no scruples and just use it without donating) or SuperDuper! ($28 shareware), both of which can handle some fairly complex setups and will make bootable backups. So there's no way I'm going to fork out a C-note for this app. Its pice alone knocks off two stars my review, the graphics knock off another, and the way it works compared to other such apps lowers my evaluation yet further down to one star.
