I agree with the complaints of a crummy manual and interface.  Yuck!
There is at least two different files/prefernces that one must save in
order to have the same environment from run to run.

Specific complaints:
  Timed backups do not work if Moire is running.  Not good.

  If you open/launch a backup set (a file that is aware that you wish to
back up to a mounted volume) and the mounted volume cannot be found
(although it is usually mounted), the program terminates after you
click "ok".  Since I separate my data files from my program files, I
always have to go and hunt down the program just to run the silly
program.  What a pain.
