What dosen't it do? The application only offers to back up your memory stick when you first place the stick in the machine. It does not back up any new files or amendments you make while it is in the machine. You need to force it to back up these file by releasing the stick from the machine and re-inserting it, causing the auto play to run the backup menu option.
An alternative to the AutoPlay menu is to open MyDocuments, point at the memory stick, view the folders and then double click (open) the sbu batch file 
this will cause the back up to occur. This method can be used to back up your memory stick at anytime, remember you still have to have permission to write to the C drive of your backing up machine.

Can I mix and match my back up sets? You are not resticted to using Duo sets like Bonnie and Clyde together. You could have Bonnie and McCartney, But you must use the files that make up the Row Set.
Cannot perform back up error? If you remove your memory stick early, without allowing the data stick to close the activity occuring with the files, the files may become corrupted. Sometimes windows will prefix these files with a sigma (a strange shaped E). You will need to open the orginal document in Word save it with a new name, and then delete these files before continuing to backup use MSBU. You may find you cannot recovery some of these files. Word may split one file into a number of parts each prefixed with a sigma, and with no apperant connection with the names (may be first line from the text section).
What is a Row Set? The Duos and 1-10 sets are presented in Rows. A row set is a set of files for the back up. For example here is the Row Set for Bonnie:
Where must the files be located on my memory stick? All the files must be at the root of the memory stick, not in a sub folder/directory.
Is there a word 2007 version? If you have word 2007 you can download this macros-enabled document, and with the macro option enabled you can use it to create you own named memory stick files, again and again. Word 2007 If you have problem downloading this .docx because it only saves as a .zip file, Click here
I am having a problem downloading the .docx file! Sometimes when you try to save the file your Internet Browser always save the file as a ZIP and not a DOCX file, this is a setting issue. To solve this problem you need to adjust your bowser setting, below are the instruction for IE:
- Select Tools > Internet Options > Security Tab > Custom Level.
- Scroll down to the setting that says “Open Files Based on Content, not file extension”.
- Set to Disabled. (If this is enabled, IE will treat the files as zip files. If it’s disabled, it should open the file.)
- Use Save Target As to download the file, select the folder to save it in and add the extention to the file name of .docm, to save the file in the correct format.
