Start Backup.app backups immediately
Authored by: osxpounder on Jan 04, '06 12:57:39PM

I did some reading over the holidays about OSX backup topics, and I found this, claiming that Apple's Backup software is useless [i.e., not 100% reliable, which, for backup software, makes it 100% useless, I suppose]. I'm not sure if the probs cited here would affect you, but as for me, I'm taking no chances. I'll stick with Retrospect for now.

Start Backup.app backups immediately

Thanks for those links, that's interesting stuff. I'll keep using Backup for now, it's just really convenient and offers some protection where I had none before. When I'm not so cheap I'll look at replacing it.

Are there any good open-source apps out there for this sort of thing? I've been using my own scripts and cron for some time now, but it would be nice to have a general purpose GUI backup app that was open-source.
