It sounds like the model isn't for you. Good on ya. That fact doesn't mean that it's an inherently bad model. For many of us, HLO works great and will only get better. (Particularly when PF1 comes to the platform. nudge, nudge).

I dont know if you understand how a Virtual Machine works, but thats what I have in my mind when Im talking about Keep my backup.
