Sets an old date on the backups, I haven't figured out how to change that; doesn;t seem to have an option to set the date.

Pros
It sounded great in the brochure...
Cons
Couldn't get the system to generate a license key, either through the software or through the website, so never had a chance to test it.
Summary
Don't know how good or bad it is because I never got to test it.
Makes NTBackup much more user friendly.
