to answer your question why Sprite cannot - IMO, maybe they can but it is not worth putting that code/functionality, right? i mean, if the difference in an INC backup versus a FUL is just 30 seconds, what do you get?

PS: THERE is no such THING as a PERFECT SOFTWARE - people would always tend to find a problem somewhere or somehow

BUT - of course, the final decision is for you to make...

cheers!!!
Can't believe how some people are so defensive about their favourite programs so much so that they can't stand to hear any constructive criticisms. I would have thought that the advantages to incremental backups are obvious as stated in my previous post.

I agree that there is no perfect software, but without constructive criticism, there is no incentive to improve. I'll post some feedback directly to Sprite - they will hopefully be more open to the idea that their software could be improved upon.
