I do not trust people who are not more specific about the condition of a crash.
I have been using Redux for a while without crash.

My point here is not to say that Redux is better than Diskfit (I have
never tried Diskfit), but to say that when you are saying that a software
crashes, you have to understand that hundred of people will not buy it for this
very reason. Actually, it make sense, I will not buy a Backup software which
crashes... 

But Redux never crashed with me. So, who is right, who is wrong? You
or me? probably both... but did you crashe it under a plain system, or a system
running 34 Inits, Cdevs, and other almost bug free software...

Please, be more specific,
