Backup Simplicity 3.0.5

Backup Simplicity 3.0.5 is a useful tool created to make a daily bootable backup of your OS X system disk to another directly-connected IDE or FireWire disk.

It makes the backup even if you're logged out, or the computer is sleeping. It will save a history of old versions of your files, to the extent of available disk space, and keep a copy of that history on your system disk for safekeeping.

Backup Simplicity is a simple way to protect the information on your computer. It ensures that the information on your computer will still be around if your computer's hard disk dies. It can also help you retrieve documents that were accidentally trashed.

Backup Simplicity uses the same professional-quality, high-speed backup engine in Synchronize! Pro X, so your backups are secure, correct, and quick.

Did you know that a hard disk (that's the device used to store everything on your computer) may fail at any time? Most last a long time, usually years, but some fail sooner and all eventually fail. It's a random thing, and if the disk fails, all the letters, email, pictures, and tunes that you have on your computer are toast.

A hard disk failure is the worst, but accidentally losing a document that you've worked on is pretty bad, too. Sometimes you don't notice that an important document was accidentally trashed until weeks after it happened.

Major Features:

1. Full Bootable OS X Backup : "Bootable OS X backup" means that you can start up from the backup, and your computer will appear just as it did when it was last backed up.
   • Works on Tiger, Panther and Jaguar - OS X 10.2.3 and later.
   • Copies long Unicode file names.
   • Uses pre-emptive multitasking to speed file transfer.
   • Copies all file permissions.
   • Copies files bigger than 2 GB.
2. Easy Setup: Set the destination for the backup with a popup. Only directly-connected hard disks may be used as a backup destination.
3. The "Always" Backup: Backup Simplicity backs up your system hard disk once a day, usually at night. It will back up even if the computer is "logged out", which means that no one is logged in. The backup will happen as long as the computer is turned on - if the computer is sleeping, it will wake to do the backup.
4. Save Old Files: Files that would be replaced or deleted from the backup can be saved, so that you can retrieve a document saved on a previous day
