  It's very good. I have been running it for about months and I have few qualms about it. But: (i) it needs to be able to really "Backup Now" when that is what you ask it to do, rather than going off and starting up a background job that gets executed when it feels like it. It is sometimes imperative to run "NOW". It shouldn't be too difficult to make that an option; (ii) It needs to present an icon to notify when it is active. This is fairly common for other systems and really helps the user know what is happening. (iii) It ought to be possible to provide access to a log that shows the backups performed ( a simple text file is all that is necessary) without having to go off and examine your filestore. Otherwise it is a great backup system if you don't have really complex needs. Recommended.

  Already had to restore a file from a few weeks back, and it worked perfectly. Nice backup tool.

  Took me a while to figure out that I had to set up ssh keys for root user instead of the user i was using. But good application otherwise, configuration is straight forward and painless compared to the more enterprise backup systems.
