 Destined to be shelfware, 2008-08-13
What good can I say about this product? They really screwed up everything that could be screwed up. The interface is cluttered. Options that should be together are spread throughout the program. It won't back up a network-attached drive, which makes it pretty close to worthless for people with home networks.
If you want to cherry pick your backups, you might expect a tree view where you could click all the folders you want to back up. Sorry. You pick them through a chooser, and it is a real pain. Who thought of this?!
It also mysteriously takes forever on occasion. No, it's not a full backup that is the reason. It sometimes compares the system to an incremental to begin the incremental, and that can take longer than a full backup. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, you might as well do a full.
If you change drive letters on a drive, it stupidly can't figure out how to do the backups, and you can't just provide a new drive letter. The solution is to start the backups from scratch, near as I can tell.
It is really fast for drive-to-drive copying...but it fails 100% of the time for me. After 99% is finished, it always complains about a sector allocation (on a verified good drive) and dies.
I've had it with Symantec. Everything I've bought from them in the last few years is on the shelf. No more.
