I find it odd that you and Greg feel that backup and restore of a new programme is so complex that Dr's will have to spend more money on Tech support. I use BP. Backup is a breeze. Restore is a Breeze - onto different machines that is. I regularly restore my backup at home (to make sure it works and of course it is a requirement of good IT practice). When I go away I restore it onto my laptop so I can "play" - again a breeze.
Every GP I know using BP finds back up & resore a very simple process. Converting MD2 to BP a breeze. No tech support needed to test it first. Setting up BP after conversion is not rocket science. All the GP's I know using BP are calling their own Tech support, less as program doesn't cause crashes - thus the saving is fantastic. So with BP the days of easy technology are continuing in GP-land But I suppose the new programme you are recommending / using is not BP.
