I used Home Inventory from Binary Formations for quite a while, it was a great product. I experienced about a dozen cases of corrupted data, worked with Binary Formations tech support, all they could tell me is that it is a known bug.
Spent way too many hours exporting, importing, rebuilding, so I had to give up.
If you do choose Home Inventory, please make multiple backups.
As soon as they release a product that resolves the "known bug" I'll go back to it.
