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 !
