I had been using Carbon Copy Cloner v4; then saw a good deal for Data Backup 4. I decided to go with DB 4 because of Prosoft's great reputation for data recovery. Unfortunately, I never got DB 4 working reliably for a clone. I have the latest iMac with SSD so hardware is the latest and greatest. Now I'm back to CCC and have upgraded to v5. Definitely a more logical interface than DB 4. No problems with CCC 4 or now with CCC 5.

I have been using Data Backup since version 2.0 and have found it to be absolutely reliable, making clones, synchronizations, and versioned backups to CD's, DVD's, drives, etc. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the documentation is terse, complete and wellI written. I've timed it with Superduper, Ca;rbonCopy Cloner, and ChronoSync and it is at least as fast or faster. These are all excellent apps. and I have used them all. There was a brief problem with Yosemite upgrade, but support was in prompt in replying and the problem was fixed within a few days. I recommend this app without hestiation.

I was a user of Data Backup for years; started with version 1. I had problems with its log files not appearing when requested. Here's my recent reply to their last tech support email regarding my problem. It's been nearly 2 months and I've heard nothing. I guess you forgot me; my problem with your software not working as it should must be too small for you to care about. Funny thing. SuperDuper!, a backup product I bought to replace you works great. No mysterious EXECUTOR. No BS. No 2 months of silence from Tech Support (none needed). It just works and does EVERYTHING it says it will do. In fairness, the backups seem to be fine, but if the software doesn't do the simple things like retrieve log files, how can the more important tasks be trusted?

Why is Data Backup 3.1.1 only a 16MB disc image and this latest 3.1.3 version is a whopping 100.4MB disc image? (The installer package is 14.4MB for v.3.1.1 and 99MB for v.3.1.3.) A lot of changes under the hood?
