:-)

You mean apart from massive user base and great community, code maturity,
great developer response time, multi-platform support, and (as of today)
several GUIs to choose from?

OK, will do.

I do not rely on these features for personal use at the moment, but I am a
bit hesitant to roll out Box Backup in a larger scale with the current
situation. Some clients have 100+ GB of application data, and I simply do
not know if there is perhaps one program that requires correct folder date
stamps. I am also a bit surprised that nobody else seems to have that
perception: is it because it is not a real concern or because nobody needs
that feature?
