A collection of all available QuickPicks for Backup 3

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Jul 16th, 2006

Wishingline, a web design studio, has done .Mac members a favor and collected most of the QuickPicks that are available on the web for Apple's Backup 3. There are quite a few QuickPicks out there for everything from ecto to PDF documents, Photo Booth pictures to Shiira bookmarks, OmniOutliner documents and much, much more. Wishingline went so far as to list a number of the QuickPicks individually, or simply offer an encompassing package of everything they could find (scroll down about midway on the page for these goodies).

The QuickPicks package is offered free from Wishingline, but remember: they didn't have anything to do with creating these (as far as I know); they just tracked them down and zipped them. If you want a QuickPick for one app or another, you should probably consult the app's author or check out these resources for creating your own.

[UPDATE: Scott from Wishingline dropped us a comment to let us know that the QuickPicks linked from Wishingline are, in fact, home grown. Thanks for some rockin' QuickPicks Scott!]

Yojimbo QuickPick for Backup 3

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Mar 19th, 2006

For .Mac members (like me) who have been enjoying the breath of fresh organizational air that is Yojimbo, you might be interested to know that Antony, an enterprising member of the Yojimbo mailing list who runs MacCentre701, has created a Yojimbo QuickPick for Backup 3. I tried it as soon as I saw the email, and everything went swimmingly.

As a bonus, if you are unfamiliar with how Backup 3 works, Antony included a brief and effective tutorial covering how install QuickPicks and how to get started using this most handy of backup software from Apple.

Backup 3.1 is available

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Feb 8th, 2006

.Mac users: Launch Software Update. Apple has released Backup 3.1, with several changes. According to Apple:

"Backup 3.1 delivers added support for some backup destinations and addresses file restoration and other issues. Backup 3.1 is recommended for all users of Backup 3.0. Significant areas addressed are: improved support for iDisk, local hard drives, and some network destinations (Mac OS X Tiger only); new iWeb QuickPick and updated iLife plan; and addresses issues with restoring files."

I'm looking forward to checking out the iWeb QuickPick. Grab your copy, and let us know if anything goes wonky.
