I purchased this a long time ago and have not updated in years. It used to work well on older OS X. But I cannot say how well it is working on current OS X. However it is true that when you go to their website, there is No more any product listing for Personal Backup. It is ONLY listed as a line item in "Mac Premium Bundle", which costs $85/year (or the current 'special' price of $70/yr). So at very least, MU should revise the listed price and explain that it is now required to purchase the premium bundle. (Unless there is some secret page which allows purchase separately, but I did not find such.)

Cloning and synchronizing runs smoothly and flawlessly; it's a good backup solution, if you want to COMBINE antivirus, firewall and backup (and web content control) in one bundle: this is is a good bargain, too, compared to a separate internet security program plus a separate backup program, i.e. if you buy the premium bundle with 25-40% bonus.

As it says above: Personal Backup is now only available as part of Intego's Mac Premium Bundle X8.
At that price you most definitely want to check out other options first:
for cloning SuperDuper or CCC, for sync, backup + cloning definitely Backuplist+.
And you get the added bonus that their software won't install stuff needlessly running in the background all the time (NetUpdate, Backup-background daemon... and the like).

This does exactly what I want it to, easily and quickly. I use it for backup and bootable backup ("cloning"). I looked around at the free software, and the commercial. This came up tops at under $30 ($27 with the download discount) for my two systems. Differences between "Backup" (from whole volume to root level on destination), and "Clone" (creating a bootable backup) are relatively obvious as are the particular settings (more or less intuitive). Does a nice job of incremental backups (a little slower as it seems to err on the side of recopying a few more files than, say, Silverkeeper does, but that is just how it seems). The interface is nice and progress well reported. I use it with an identical (and interchangeable for added offsite security) pair of LaCie Porsche Design mobile 1TB USB3/2 drives, with 4 partitions. It treats each partition as a volume. Once set up (I had to do a second run a couple of times to get a complete and clean destination set), it all works perfectly.
