"Does as promised!"

"Failed to restore multiple backups"
Version: MozBackup 1.5.1
Pros
None seen by me
Cons
Could not restore FF3.624 from multiple backups created on 2 different pc's
Because it seems like it would work, I uninstalled FF to correct a problem with Mcafee siteadvisor...then couldn't restore FF.Summary
Don't count on this...it could fail you at a critical time.

"Absolutely fantastic!"
Version: MozBackup 1.5.1
Pros
In my work I got a new PC with Windows 7, and I needed to transfer all my emails that I got in Thunderbird to my new computer, not a problem with this software.
Cons
None at all.
Summary
I had a seven years old PC with Windows XP in my work. I had used my email client "Thunderbird" for nearly three years. My new color printer from HP did not work very well with this old computer so I got a new HP computer with Windows 7 installed. But how should I transfer all my emails from my old email client to my new Thunderbird email client in my new PC? I saw this as a great problem. Then I goggled a little and found this fantastic program. In as little as a few minutes all my data was transferred with all the emails, server configurations, themes and other configurations as well! Amazing!

"It could use more options"
Version: MozBackup 1.5.1

It is a way to do a back-up

I have had problems moving backed up items from one machine to another. It seems it adds more than is necessary.
