Let's call it a "donation" instead of calling the software "shareware." I think the distinction is important.. This backup util is good work, but the idea of anything on the empeg being shareware sounds kinda shady to me.

I think the user should be given flexibility of they want to duplicate their files or not... Ideally the backup util would be able to restore the database later on, so re-linking in Emplode wouldn't be necessary. I realize that's no small task just yet....

Wouldn't the better approach be to just physically copy every disk sector the way Norton Ghost does? That way you'd be guaranteed an exact backup.. Is there a problem with this approach?

The database is a file, IIRC it's /empeg/var/database or something like that.
