DMG Master 2.2

DMG Master 2.2 is such a useful software to create standard Disk Image Archive recognized by any Mac in a simplified way, with just one click. Disk Images Archive is the preferred and standard way on the Mac to exchange group of files compacted in a single file. It uses a format universally recognized by any Mac. Clicking an archive, results in it be mounted by Mac OS X as virtual disk on any Mac (no additional software required). The unique 'document based' approach used by DMG Master lets the user save a lot of time in the use of the software if compared with the tipical 'utility' approach.

Using DMG Master the user has to do that just one time and save all the settings in a document. After that, the user opens the document from disk and press the 'Make Disk Image' button. The disk image is created on the fly with the updated content.

The user can create documents containing:

• Specifications about the list of the files to include inside the archive to create
• The name of the archive with datetime tag inside (solved at built time)
• The location on your hard Disk where to save the image archive
• The option to overwrite an existant archive
• The compression level
• Encrypted archive or not
• If encrypted the password to use
• The password (optional) used to encrypt the archive (it will never be saved inside the archive, only in the document to create it!)
• The option to automatically start the building process just opening the document (after a delay)

DMG Master can be useful to create archives for different purposes:

• Release software as software developers
• Make generic backup of your data
• Make backup for remote server archiving private data ancrypted for safety transmission
• Store data on a ftp server
