DV Backup für Mac

Upon startup, this program downloads a file called "monitor.txt" from http://web.onetel.com/~tghewett1/monitor.txt. That file is now gone, but at the time of the original review being written the file contained the following entries: wendell@moultrie.com 0 - diamondjr1@aol.com 1 - roshi@aol.com 0 - bigdee762002@yahoo.com 0 - fcpeditor2@mac.com 0 - marigov@gmail.com 1 - minervini@charter.net 0 - orders@militariacourses.com 0 - carmen@amana-key.com.br 2 http://web.onetel.com/~tghewett1/find.sh antonio.miccoli1@tin.it 1 - kagi-reg@henninger.com 0 - gmunger@triad.rr.com 0 - burke@silly.com 0 - scott@third-row.com 0 - What is interesting is that for certain users, the vendor can execute arbitrary scripts on their machines. For example, if we check the contents of find.sh as shown above, we see the following: #! /bin/tcsh find "/Volumes/MacOS 9.2.2" -name \*DVBackup\* -print > /dev/console This script searches a users machine for the vendor's product. He could conceivably execute or install any type of software. To verify any of the information I have provided please contact me, or just run this software and monitor (without making any changes to the software) your internet connection.

I do professional video production and this software is a perfect backup solution. The ability to use the same professional DVCAM tape stock which I shoot on and to store large video files and their associated project files on one tape makes DV Backup a win/win for anyone shooting and editing video or dealing with other hard drive consuming media files. I'm getting rid of my old expensive tape backup system since DV Backup is quicker, more reliable, easier to use and my tapes cost 1/3 of the cost of backup tapes. Because I'm using professional hardware which the software hadn't been used with before, there were some initial interface control issues but the developer's tech support was extremely responsive and working with me he actually rewrote the software and gave me a working beta in less than two days! Try getting that kind of response from Dantz or any other software developer.

Seems to work fine for me. I have a Cannon ZR65 MC

Works fine for me Stefano. Sounds like the "error" isn't in the software to me if you know what I mean...

New: DV Backup LE (Lite Edition) A new "lite" edition of DV Backup has been released. DV Backup LE provides all the table of contents and automatic tape control features of the standard edition of DV Backup, but with more basic backup facilities. It is intended for home users who cannot justfy the more extensive (and still growing) feature set of the standard edition and really only need to backup a few folders relatively occasionally and in an uncomplex manner. Differences compared to the standard edition: - backups limited to one file or folder - restores cannot be performed selectively, the whole backup must be restored - multitape backups are not possible - scheduled and incremental backups are not available This new edition is based on the same well-proven core technology as the standard edition, and both forms will benefit from future improvements in their shared facilities. An upgrade path is available should you find that having purchased the lite edition you would prefer the broader facilities of the standard edition. Backups made by the lite edition are compatible with the standard edition. DV Backup LE can be downloaded for free evaluation from http://www.coolatoola.com/DVBackupLE1.2.4.dmg For further information please contact support2@coolatoola.com.
