Its a hang over from old days, I've had stomp for years. It allows me
to make a config file listing just what I want to backup. Not sure ATI
does that. I've only had ATI for 4 months and only use it to make
clones so far. I've used ATI to restore files from the clone, as I
forgot a file on my last backup that was only on the clone. Anyway the
stomp 'file' backup is a one click and its done.
If I can config ATI, I'll look into it and yes, one less program on the
machine.
