No, I've not tried it but it would be interesting to hear your experiences.

I’ve tried a lot of backup applications like this over the years and they have 
all, without exception, been crap for one reason or another.  Some are massive 
and bloated, others take a shotgun approach and backup everything including the 
swap file repeatedly consuming storage at a frightening rate and almost all of 
them failed to make file retrieval and restoration easy.

These days I roll my own backups using  a small command-line application that 
copies data off each PC to a remote NAS box every night, The NAS box then backs 
itself up to a second NAS box in another building which pushes all changes to a 
commercial cloud storage.  Users have read-only access to their own file store 
on the first NAS but nothing else.

My general rule of thumb is that you need a minimum of three backup copies of 
everything that's important.
