Can't tell if this thing works. It requires a helper app that says is available from the developers website, but there is nothing there. The developers website is a static page of nothingness. save your $7 and move on.

It would be great if it could mount and unmount the drive before and after the backup.

Though I have not tried it, I’m pretty sure this does not work in Sierra.
