Data Backup software simplifies backing up to FireWire, USB, network, CD and DVD drives.
Data Backup is easy to use, and users can start without any complicated setup procedures. Built-in backup sets can be used immediately to backup your iTunes or iPhoto files or any other significant data on your entire system. Moreover, users can quickly create custom backup sets smoothly just by dragging and dropping files. Additionally, the "Fast Start" feature in the software preselects files to be backed up, saving a considerable amount of time on the backup (requires OS X 10.4+).
Furthermore, Data Backup packs many powerful features that make it very effective. Users can easily go back in time and view their files and directories since the backup occurred. The scheduling feature in the software enables automatic backups on a specific date, day or recurring basis, or when a new drive is connected. Interestingly, the software can automatically wake the Mac from sleep to execute the scheduled backups regardless of whether the user is logged in or not. With the data backup software, users can also create a bootable clone of their hard drive, compress and/or password-protect their backups.
Data Backup software is also very flexible. It can backup to any mounted drive, including FireWire, USB, ATA, or networked drives. Users can back up to CD/DVD disks that automatically span on multiple discs, and they can also create an exact copy of any folder or hard drive, including bootable OS X backups. For users working on more than one computer, Data Backup can synchronize folders and keep multiple computers working in harmony.
With Data Backup, users can easily perform basic operations such as Backup, simply by dragging files and folders into the software and selecting a destination drive. To perform a restore operation, users select the file and folders they want to restore and reverse the to and from folders. Data backup can backup or restore from any mounted drive, including CD, DVD, ATA, SCSI, FireWire, USB, or networked volumes.
For advanced operations, Data Backup software provides Bootable Backups, which clones bootable drives to create a complete bootable backup, making data recovery easy if the primary drive experiences a crash. Additionally, users can set up recurring schedules to automate any Data Backup task. The software also provides file exceptions enabling users to specify files that should never be backed up, such as system files or applications. Moreover, Data Backup software provides Versioned Backups or Incremental Backups, creating an exact copy of a disk or a folder, with an evolution in the backed-up data to provide older versions of the data.
Finally, the Data Backup software offers numerous options for users, including Synchronization, an option that makes two folders identical by copying any missing files and replacing older files with newer ones, Compression, which can back up and restore automatically compressed data, or the user can compress data on their computer to save hard drive space. Overall, Data Backup software is powerful software that Mac users must-have, especially for the backup of essential data and files.
