A friend of mine bought Synchro Express.  There are a good many things it
won't copy.  In fact, it strikes me that Nib (which is public domain) has
about the same success rate.  The problem with SE is that sometimes the
failures aren't immediately obvious.  For example, my backup of Dungeon
Master booted and ran without a hitch -- UNTIL I got to a certain point in
the dungeon.  Whacko!  Not a pleasant demise, even for adventurers...

My recommendation is to stay away from this thing.  With the success rate
I've seen, I don't think it's worth the money.  (Then again, I'm not paranoid
about backing up my disks, either.  Even if it had a 100% success rate I 
still wouldn't pay more than $10 for it...)
