Publisher's description of DV Backup
From Tim Hewett:Why buy an expensive tape backup system if you already have one? DV Backup is a shareware application for MacOS X 10.2 which lets you backup computer files to a domestic DV or Digital8 camcorder. DV Backup 1.0.3 supports these features: backup, restore, verify with up to 10GB storage per hour of tape (15GB for LP mode) / full table-of-contents listing for each tape including user comments / automatic remote control of the camera including tape positioning / 8 levels of error protection/recovery, from none through to full duplication / file/folder archive during backup, de-archive during restore / PAL and NTSC, DV and Digital8 cameras supported / drag-and-drop functionality.

Version: DV Backup 1.3.1
"DV Backup has the potential to be spyware."
Cons: Upon startup (at least once a day), this program downloads a file called "monitor.txt" from web.onetel.com/~tghewett1/monitor.txt. That file is now gone, but at the time of the original review being written the file contained the following entries:

What is interesting is that for certain users, the vendor can execute arbitrary scripts on their machines. For example, if we check the contents of find.sh as shown above, we see the following:
#! /bin/tcsh
find "/Volumes/MacOS 9.2.2" -name \*DVBackup\* -print > /dev/console
This script searches a users machine for the vendor's product. He could conceivably execute or install any type of software.
To verify any of the information I have provided please contact me, or just run this software and monitor (without making any changes to the software) your internet connection.
