iMsafe 2.0b12 Backup Software - Shareware Beat

1069
It happens to everyone. Whether it's the result of electrical failure, vandalism, or an accidental drag to the Trash, it's all too easy to lose data you can't afford to be without. You can prevent such mishaps by using iMsafe: a simple yet powerful Cocoa backup application for Mac OS X. iMsafe 2 has been totally rewritten to take advantage of the advanced functionality in Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4.

What can iMsafe do for you?

iMsafe backs up data stored in your Home folder (or your Home folder itself) to any mounted OS X volume. You can run backups from within iMsafe or schedule your backup to occur every day, on weekdays or on a specific day of the week. And you can create as many backup tasks as you like, so the possibilities are unlimited. The coolest feature in iMsafe is its incremental backup option: you can choose to only backup files that have changed since the last backup, dramatically reducing backup time. iMsafe will compare both versions and will transfer only the updated part.

Meet the Human Backup Interface

We have worked overnight to make iMsafe the most intuitive backup solution in the world. As a result, backing up with iMsafe is a breeze: just create your backup task and click the run button. It's that simple. iMsafe has a convenient info panel where you can set all backup properties and see the last backup report. If you can work with Mail or iTunes, you can work with iMsafe.

Rock the dock

Whether you run backups manually, or scheduled using iMsafe's scheduling functionality, iMsafe's dock icon will become green to remind you of a running backup.

Detailed backup reports

iMsafe 2 offers extremely detailed backup reports. Reports are compiled on-the-fly so you can keep an eye on a running backup. For every backup, the report is automatically saved for later review. Because all report items have a status icon, a quick glance at the backup report will often suffice.

Auto-connect

If you are backing up to another Mac on the network, iMsafe can automatically mount the remote volume for you. This feature will save you from typing your username and password over and over again.
