I did try it out, but gave up with it. It scans your PC for every GEDCOM it finds and as I had so many, it took forever with all the FH examples and others which I had for magazine articles, and then it was a nuisance to tell it not to look for them. They also didn't answer when I contacted them .... it was early on to be fair, so things may have improved since then.
I now use Dropbox which I am very happy with, as YOU decide what you want to back up. It syncs wiht the online folder immediately I make any changes to any of the files in the Dropbox folder on my laptop or PC.
