The following is a warning posted by Whitelake on the IHub board that I am pasting here with his permission:

"SCAM ALERT! Back in September after some investigation and trial, I bought Handy Backup 4.1 from handybackup.net . As time progressed it worked ok until the last few weeks it progressed to unusable. Reinstall didn't help. Google search led to handybackup.com and I emailed support not noticing the difference in the URL. They responded the next day telling me that I bought from a fraudulent site, and the 4.1 version is a clone of their old 3.5. They have version 4.0 which I am trying and it works ok, but who are you going to believe here. I filled a report with FBI, but that probably won't be priority with all the real threats out there in the post 9/11 world. For the curious look at both sites. I need backup to work, but this is a confusing situation. Supposedly the people at .net are Russians and the .com are from W's home state."
