Actually, it was one of the biggest problems I had with Diavolo 1.27. When I bought it 11 months ago, a new version offering such a feature was promised by Werner within a view weeks. Obviously, it took much much longer… but well, we all know software development takes it time… longer than expected. I just have to ask Werner more questions: 1. Will you ASAP solve the crash problem described by you? You know Murphy and stupid users like me 😉 Crashes can be a big disaster for me and my work… 2. Another big problem with Diavolo for a backup in background was it's nasty wish to activate all upcoming windows/requesters. It happened to me several times while programming: while editing a text and Diavolo running in background, a requester was prompted and activated while I was typing. Because of my typing (return and ESC), the requester was aborted without giving me a chance to find out about the requester. In some cases Diavolo crashed when aborting requesters with ESC. Did you solve this problem? NOTE: Don't get the wrong impression by this message. I think there currently is no better backup software for the Amiga. Diavolo always worked reliable for me (beside all features, this is most important for me) and my DAT is fully supported.
