Nice bit of kit. Better than most in most areas. Only part I found annoying (annoying enough to possibly not use programme) was the limited options given in the "Back Up Task Properties", "Options" tab. I would expect to see the possibility of mixing Incremental and Full backups on the same Back Up Job so that you can select and stack a number of incrementals (containing just the modified files since last incremental) and then after X incrementals producing a full backup (and being able to stack up a number of these) - this would be useful as it shortens the backup operation and gives a trail of the changes if a particular file has several iterations.
Lastly, your engine seems slower than most programs at generating incrementals - is that inherent in the software structure or will it be improved in later versions?

I would also like to have the option to do "mixed' backup types, so count this as a second vote for this feature.
