I am thinking of buying Redux.  Would someone tell me more about this program
in  areas like
    o     How incremental backup is done (like DiskFit's approach or
Fastback's)
    o     How fast is it (faster than DiskFit? in Global and Incremental)
    o     How reliable is it?
    o     Does it restore hierarchy Folder info with global restore?
    o     DOES IT USE FINDER FILE FORMAT (like DiskFit)?
    o     HOW DOES IT HANDLE THE FOLDER SELECTION PROCESS ?
    o     Does it let you have special back-up sets like:Documents only
or applications only ones
    o     Whichever way you think that this program is better than DiskFit.

The bottom line is: I love DiskFit (it's reliable, fast, with 'real' incremental
back-up).  However, I would like to have more flexibilities with the sets of
back-up files that I make, namely folder selections.

IMPORTANT: I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A BIG DISCUSSION ON REDUX,
           FASTBACK AND DISKFIT A WHILE AGO.  I MISSED IT.
           IN ORDER NOT TO GENERATE A SIMILAR DISCUSSION, I WOULD
           LIKE TO HAVE ANSWERS/SUGGESTIONS E-MAILED TO ME.

MORE IMPORTANTLY: If you have seen any reviews/news or any articles on Redux
                  in MacWEEK/MACWORLD/MACUSER/MACAZINE... please tell me.
                  It maybe easier for me.

THANKS IN ADVANCE !
