Just one thing - can it do "on the fly" backups - i.e. detect when a file has changed and then back it up?
I haven't found a way to make the free version backup on the fly and I suspect it needs the SE version to have that ability.

The first time I ran the free version ( now using v3.2.14) it seemed to take forever to create the copy on my external HD but this did include about 1500 photos and images and nearly 15 years worth of files. ( OK I admit that I'm a pack rat ) I now have it set to do a daily backup of all my additions and alterations and it does it in the blink of an eye. Once a week I get it to do a full system sync and again this takes no time at all.

To be honest I forget I've even got it running, it just works seamlessly in the background.

I don't know if this will help but have a look at this link http://lifehacker.com/software/geek-...ive-147855.php
