MinimServer complexity (was Configuration Backup)

[DavidHB]

I am posting as a matter of courtesy, to make it clear that I think I've said my piece on this. Simon and I agree that our respective points are valid, but that does leave unanswered the question of how 'technical' a MinimServer user should be a expected to be.

To a geek like me, learning the 'technical' aspects of the program is all part of the fun. I doubt that I am typical in this respect. MinimServer is such a clever and useful program that I feel that as wide an audience as possible should share in its benefits.

I haven't tried Asset or Twonky (though I have used the former on a dealer's system), but nothing in their descriptions on the web tempts me to try them as an alternative to MinimServer. So I hope that over time, the MinimServer learning curve can be made less steep, and ways can be found both to tempt new users in and to make opinion formers - especially dealers - more aware of and prepared to recommend MinimServer as an alternative to what I believe are less capable products.
