Nova Backup Review

I've been looking for an easy to use backup solution, so I thought I'd try out Nova Backup. The software installs easy enough, and I was able to kick off a backup to my NAS drive of the 'My Documents' folder. The backup was running across my wireless network which I admit can sometimes drop out. Unfotunately half way through the backup, an outage occured and straight away the backup software popped up a message saying 'Completed with Errors'. After reading that oximoron I rate Nova Backup a fail and would never recommend it. With most houses utilising wireless links, a backup program should at least be able to recognise a drop out and offer a 'continue button' to click once the connection has resumed. Or better yet, detect the connection has resumed and finish the backup on its own.
