Out of all of the years I have been buying software out here... I have always been able to back it up to a cd or dvd....
For the software that we have bought in which I have bought alot of it from the app store

I wish I could back it up to a dvd....
What happens if the app store had a big crash? Would we loose all of the stuff we bought? Does apple keep logs of what we have bought? I set here and think what if it did crash..... I would loose everything if they don't have it backed up for me....
I feel I have no control of the software I have purchased using the app store as far as being able to backup.
