Back That Mac Up

Back That Mac Up

Backup software that's user-friendly and useful? Must be Apple's.

 

WHAT YOU NEED
> Backup 3.0.1 (free with trial or full .Mac account, www.mac.com)
> Mac OS 10.3.9 or 10.4.2 or later
> .Mac account (optional, $99 per year, www.mac.com)

 

We're relentless about telling you to back up your files and Mac OS X settings - and now that Apple's released Backup 3 (free with .Mac account or free 60-day trial, www.mac.com), you've got no excuse not to. Here's how to back up smartly - just be aware that Backup doesn't make bootable backups.

Well as it works out, backup (Version 3.1.2, the only version availble at this writing) is limited to 100K per backup for trial accounts. In order to be able to make full use of backup one must anty up for a full .Mac account.
