No incremental backups (no, the hard link trick is not an incremental  
backup).

Does not backup to removable and portable media.

No snapshot backups.

Very little control over how it runs, even with known hacks.

Cannot configure selective backups without tremendous labor.

It's simplistic controls on what to backup and what not to backup are  
easily confused by dynamic paths and devices.

It cannot backup other machines remotely.

There are a few more, but the above are show stoppers.
