Can it do a Mark 2 -> Mark 2? If so, can the data stream be redirected to make a proprietary backup?
At present, it cannot. It was a purpose-built tool with limited properties. But you bring up a good point -- it looks like the groundwork for a backup utility within emplode might already be there.
To reiterate my number one empeg wishlist desire: A simple, crude, brute-force backup utility built into emplode that will mirror my entire empeg (including database) to my PC's hard drive. The backup file can be a single, big, compressed, encoded, encrypted file that cannot be viewed, edited, played, or used for anything in the whole world, except to be mirrored back to the same empeg (serial number check?) that wrote it. I think that under these circumstances empeg's concerns about enabling piracy might be alleviated.
If the tool were not part of emplode, then a stand-alone utility that would run in Windows would suffice. I would be very willing to pay for such a utility.
