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.
