I did not doubt what you said or that it works under Win7, it was simply that from the last message I read in the Forum, the Developer said he was no longer updating the s/w and a buyer had been found for the source.
If it works as you need,
after testing, then that is a risk you can make based on your own assessment.
If you don't test and understand what it can & cannot do you will find out too late, with NO support from the Developer.
e.g. I have used
Teracopy for years and it has always worked perfectly, recently I have had 'bad copies' of some files but I am able to easily identify if that happens so I will still use it but with an eye towards it weaknesses.
It appears to be related to the volume of data processed which has only happened due to Disks getting bigger. (I now have 5TB disks ! )
There is a newer beta version but I would rather have faults that I 'Know' than ones that I don't in a Beta version.
It is a pity Cobian Backup is no longer being developed as it looks interesting in its ability to automate some tasks, from my brief look at the s/w.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
