Thanks for releasing such a great utility for free. You must be a real moron to make mistakes using this! Very nice done, and so useful. The kind of app I love. five stars October 9, 2003

This is a useful and important utility that saves time and effort. And it's free. What else could anyone want? The bad news — you really have to follow the directions. five stars October 6, 2003

I have to add my kudos also. I have been using this utility for quite some time and it has saved my butt in the past. Whether you gloss over the dialog windows or not it takes little time and does exactly what is intended to do. For my final step I create a secure DMG and load the backup into that then send it to my .Mac disk. five stars October 6, 2003

Wow! What a great utility. Thanks to the developer for creating a free tool which almost "foolproofs" an invaluable service. five stars July 6, 2003

Incredible! This wonderful and useful utility is elegant, both in its simplicity and implementation. It has saved my life countless times and its author gets my very highest praise for constantly improving this invaluable but FREE gem. five stars June 16, 2003

Quick and simple! Great app!! - And the walk-through makes it a no-brainer. Very fast; like the option at the end that allows user to specificy where the backed up files go. This is so darn quick and clean it should be part of everyone's basic toolkit. five stars May 27, 2003

Works for me! Great walk-through. Caught some problem preferences. Price is right. Thank you. five stars March 13, 2003

Excellent. I highly recommend taking the time to read the instructions first so you know exactly what is going on. The script prompts you through your responses and the whole thing and worked great! five stars February 28, 2003

Out-frigin-standing! Thanks to this script, my one remaining sore point with OS X (corrupt user preferences) has gone from major pain to minor annoyance. More features are welcome, but please, keep it simple. five stars February 5, 2003

Thanks for the free app. Works great. Good idea to back up your prefs folder. Nice to be able to revert to a previous backup if something goes awry. five stars December 14, 2002
Really a nice, compact, and very useful app. Sure you can track all this stuff down and copy it. But if you're a lazy guy like me, you don't do it that often. With this app, even a lazybones will be apt to backup these important files. He's made it very easy to do. Thanks [m-t-software] for the cool app! five stars February 9, 2003

First thought — "how hard is it to copy your prefs folder?" Reality — stuff is spread out as indicated in the description. The rollover verification is a nice touch. The price? Awesome. five stars January 14, 2003
Gettin' better all the time... five stars February 11, 2003

[A]nything that allows me not to write my own AppleScript deserves 5 stars ;) I wrote a similar script but not wth restore feature... That's the bomb!. . . I love the "oops" "been there, done that" and "what?" buttons... :) five stars January 14, 2003

Great! Hint for the developer: add addresses and calendars. five stars February 13, 2003

Thank you for making a system restore so seamless... I spend way too much time playing with bleeding edge beta software — knowing that I can quickly restore my Mac after a "Goof" is definitely a warm and fuzzy... Not to mention thanks for keeping it free... five stars February 13, 2003

Took a little longer to run than I expected, but ran seamlessly. Thanks! five stars February 13, 2003

Yeah, that roxx. Worth any cent. December 30, 2003 (Version: 4.2)

This wonderful application was invaluable in rebuilding my system when my hard drive died recently. I kiss the ground this generous developer walks on. Thank you so very much for such an easy to use tool, one that even THIS L8bloomer can understand. November 15 , 2003 (Version: 4.0.6)

Outstanding program. I second what the previous reviewer said. This developer is a great guy! November 15 , 2003 (Version: 4.0.6)

[developer response: Aw, shucks!]

What is with this guy? I mean, seriously, this is a KICK ASS program he's giving away for free. It's easy, convenient, and very handy, and best of all — FREE. He upgrades it often (I've been using it since version 2.3.2 and in the past two months, he's done 4 upgrades). It's a very stable, helpful, and considerate AppleScript. And 2.3.6 adds these nifty little features that make me do the happy dance! March 2, 2003 (Version: 2.3.6)

This saved me time and frustration when I ran into a preference problem. Was a little nervous following the instructions for restoring a previous backed up pref folder due to his warnings through the process. But all proceeded fine and I was back to work in no time. Thank you! April 18, 2003 (Version: 2.4)

This application is AppleScript used brilliantly. Five shining stars! (May 20, 2003, Version: 2.4.3)

X9: There's an ancient saying that states: "There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving." This may very well be the answer to your question regarding why this developer is giving away such an awesome tool! ;-) (May 21, 2003, Version: 2.4.4)

Does just what it claims to! Use it! (June 8, 2003, Version: 2.4.4)

Very slick script! (June 18, 2003, Version: 2.4.6)
X9!
This script just keeps getting better, and lemme tell ya, I had a problem and emailed the developer. He replied within just a couple hours. He even sent me a solution to my problem. This is all free of charge. I've NEVER seem this kind of "customer support" ANYWHERE. This is definitely my favorite script of all AppleScripts. (June 21, 2003, Version: 2.4.6)
