830 Be smart - backup different. Freeridecoding announces a major update for its straightforward backup tool SmartBackup v2.2. SmartBackup is the ideal application to perform all kinds of daily backups to harddrives, network sharepoints, webDAV, usb sticks, iPods etc. From a smart efficient document backup to a full bootable backup of MacOSX - SmartBackup is very easy to set up and straightforward.

The tool supports the use of Spotlight's "saved searches" as backup items or to define exclusion which makes creating dynamic backups (all protected iTunes files, all documents changed this week, etc) very simple. SmartBackup optionally archives deleted or changed items during each backup and keeps them sorted in an archive folder. SmartBackup supports handling of multiple backup sets and can be automated using iCal, Automator or for the unix pros using the commandline mode and shellscripts.

New in 2.2:
- supports full bootable backups
- interface improvements
- improved performance
- improved Leopard support
- bugfixes
- requires 10.4
