Hi I tried this via jetblast and ran the program successfully for a few months ...then it froze! kept sampling the same data for weeks on end .No response to my emails for help .IT IS A VERY WORTHY CAUSE but poor backup ! good luck I wish mine would "unstick" (three weeks same data stuck at 97%of task complete)
