Because it SUCKS. I backed a 20 meg DH0: partition with it because I heard the version of QarterBack I had was buggy with 2.04. I then reformated the drive. Well, when I tried to restore the first thing I noticed was that disk one of my backup had read write errors. So I guess HDBackup dosen't verify the disks. Second it only kept a record of what was backed up on that first disk. (QuarterBack keeps a record on both the first and last disk.) So even though all the other disks might of still been good they were useless without disk one. Third with compression on it took 23 disks to backup my partition. QuarterBack only wanted 17 disks without using compression. Three strikes your out. As for why they the bothered putting on the disk, I don't know. It's worthless. Throw it away.
