Resco is more feature rich. It lets me have an automate (scheduled) project 
that backs up every 3 hours during business hours, another project that 
creates a full backup every night at 10:30, etc., with each project keeping 
its own backups separate from other projects. It also allows for encryption 
of backups (important if you have patient phone numbers, etc., in your data). 
It also provides for compression of backups to save space.

BackupMan is easier to use. Provides encryption and automated backups, but no 
compression. At the end of the day, you'll have a single backup for that day, 
no matter now often you set BackupMan to schedule updating of that file.

If you don't need more than one distinct generational backup set per day, 
Resco might be overkill. Depends on your needs.

I still like to have more than one  backup program running daily, in any 
event. I'm always afraid that when it comes to restoring a hard reset device, 
I might find out that this or that backup app was backing up in a corrupted 
fashion, or whatever. If that happens, I just restore with the other app.
