Maybe I don't use it to the extent of Alejandro, but I have yet to experience any major problems with Flyback. I’ve been happy with my experiences using this backup method.

I was actually suggested this topic by a reader, so I went with it. Yes, the tool has bugs. Yes the tool has not had any work done for a while, but the tool still works and serves a purpose. And remember, this is an open source project - I took a read of the comments on the flyback page and have already noticed some of the comments mention users have made changes to the tool. One of the advantages of the open source license is that, should the developer of flyback drop the ball, someone will most likely pick it up. That's why it's never really a bad thing to cover a tool that hasn't been worked on for a while - just give it some time and someone will work on it. I can mention a dozen or so projects this has has happened with. @kap4lin: Don’t you think that is a bit of an unfair judgment? I was actually suggested this topic by a reader, so I went with it.

Thanks. These days the quality of (tech) journalism is really questionable. With lack of any liabilities the content is always questionable. Internet has become more of garbage can than a library ;( @Alejandro:

There are plenty of bugs that may never get addressed. I found a similar and active project that replaced my aging Flyback. http://backintime.le-web.org/ Flyback development seems to have stopped months ago.
