I purchased Fastback II as well on the special upgrade from your
current backup deal. I am rather displeased as well that it will not
restore your desktop file as well. Another feature that got me was
the fact that if your history files get deleted then you are shafted
as far as the program is concerned.
Overall, I find that the program is disappointing and am currently
trying to find a nicer backup program. I currently use HFS Backup
3.0, but it has some problems. I found out from MacWorld Boston that
PCPC is overly concerned with hearing about my problems with the
program and the feeling that I got was they were going to stop support
on the product all together.
I would really appreciate a comparison between HFS Backup 3.0 and
somebody with Redux 1.5. SUM Backup is a trimmed down Redux that
doesn't allow the user any options for individual file deselection.
I personally don't count Fastback II as being a good backup program.
