FTM has a convenient backup feature, which is made needlessly hard to use in practical situations. The default option, which cannot be changed, is to include all media in the backup package. So, each time you backup you must remember to uncheck the box. For my 7GM media directory, that means if I forget, I get to wait 15 minutes while FTM packages up the entire directory again. The program includes a "Cancel" button, which unfortunately does not work. The file name for the backup is always the same on a given day, so additionally, you have to recall the name of previous backups that day. That seems like the kind of housekeeping a computer is better at than a person.
