BackityMac 1.0 - easy backup, restore and maintenance
BackityMac is a
really handy, really simple to use backup and restore utility that allows you to chose from a number of different
application support directories to backup into a good ol' fashioned read-only disk image. The list of library and
support folders includes:- Entourage
- Keychain
- Safari, Firefox and Camino bookmarks
- iPhoto library
- iTunes library
- iWeb files
- Documents folder
- your entire Home folder
If you haven't found a good tool or developed some kind of a backup habit yet, BackityMac is a great place to start - especially since its free. Go check it out.

I just started using SuperDuper! last night. I was also looking at carbon copy cloner and iBackuup. Has anyone done a good comparison of these programs, including this posted one today? (That means you TUAW, do my bidding!)

I'm w/ Jeff, I'm considering one of these tools and would love a 3-way review. ;-)

I've used CCC for years, but recently started using SuperDuper and like it much more. I like its ability to schedule specific events for specific tasks. For example, I backup my users folder every night to one drive and make a bootable backup of everything on a weekly basis.
