I have used HB for many years. It was good in its day but that day is long gone. It does not back up to DVD and it does not do incremental backup to CDR. When I asked them about the likelihood of these omissions being fixed, they referred me to another product. Enough said!

I use this with all my customers. You set it up and run over nite. Great Stuff. It will alert you of problems. Good for customers who just wont run backups.
