I have been using it for almost 10 years without problems... it's reliable and stable as anything. Just because other solutions don't tell you they have errors, doesn't mean there aren't errors... they just ignore them... > If I would participate to the development of BPC, I would make more > changes to the architecture.

Great... nothing is stopping you from creating your own backup program, but I doubt you will find much willingness here to create a completely different backup program from scratch... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
