Since I bought Cpremote I had problems. Always was a headache. They removed the function to restore backup of terminated accounts, and yet without warning in advance. I lose many clients, because I said to they that I had the backup, but cpremote stopped to maintain the backups of terminated accounts. I asked my money back e And they did not give me back
