 Backing up is great. Restoring? Not so much June 25, 2008
This product was supposed to create a bootable backup drive and seamless restore of files.
I followed the instructions to the tee and it didn't work. Had to manually restore all my files and then trash the backup files on the backup to start fresh with a new backup set.
This software does not contain a way to recreate a catalog file of a backed up drive... something I got used to having with Retrospect.
If you have a Mac, use Time Machine on a new firewire backup drive and be done with it.
 Do not get for a Macintosh unless you are desperate March 4, 2008
Version 7.1.3b4
Bounceback was highly recommended a few years ago in article in MacWorld and/or MacUser. I bought it based on that recommendation. I have sucessfuly used it to back up my computer, so it is not a complete waste of money. It is exceptionally buggy. The interface is exceptionally non-intuitive. The interface resembles nothing like a typical Macintosh interface. The program causes crashes and freezes. It is hard to know if a backup was completely successful. Probably some of the interface difficulties come from translation form a foreigh language into non-standard English. The upgrade for Macintosh appears to lag the upgrade for PCs by many months. I have used it with a variety of computers and OS configurations 10.3-10.5.
If you have no other back-up solution, this porgram can be used successfully by a persistent watchful Macintosh-proficient user.
