The free version lets you configure backups of one or two databases, and the backup will run whilst the server is still running. We have it setup to take a local copy and also do an FTP transfer overnight.
I just emailed Minidisc Australia and Social Loot sales this email: --- Hi guys
I'm a previous customer of yours (I purchased a Cowon J3 a couple of years ago, order no 40580), and previously I've recommended other people buy stuff from you.
My opinion is that the kind of 'shill advertising' promoted by Social Loot is about as low as it gets. As a result, I will: a) no longer be recommending you, in fact I will be recommending against purchasing from you (and will explain my reasoning regarding the use of Social Loot) b) no longer consider you for future purchases for myself
I realise I'm just one person. However, I am the 'go to guy' for a number of relatives and friends for technology matters, and based on past experience I am pretty sure that this will cost you a sale every three months or so. Over the course of one year I would estimate lost revenue at AUS$500 - AUS$1000.
If you stop using Social Loot advertising I will be happy to reverse my decision on this matter. Please note I've also cced this email to the Social Loot sales email address - unlike them, and apparently you, I am fine with being honest about my opinions.
