SmartBackup 2.1.1

There is an alternative to just backing up the whole harddisk: An easy way to backup and restore YOUR files. That is SmartBackup.
Smart backup made easy
SmartBackup is a backup application to efficiently sync YOUR files to a backup folder. It is very fast and very easy to set up, especially when it comes to defining what files you want to backup. Not wasting space and time for files already on your MacOSX install DVD, you can also use a slower network share-point as a target.
Backup or exclusion defined by Spotlight
With SmartBackup you can use Spotlights "Saved Searches" as backup items. That way files found by that searches can be backed up or excluded. Telling SmartBackup to "backup all files changed during the last week", "backup only purchased music out of the iTunes library" or "exclude all files with a red label", is just one click.
Just in case - one click restore
SmartBackup stores all your files as they are inside the backup, including your backup configuration. You can take out individual files anytime. In case of emergency, when everything is lost, just reselect your backup with SmartBackup and restore your files with one click.
Backup to Harddisks or Network
SmartBackup supports backing up to any kind of harddisk, partitions or network sharepoint. Useable with your iPod, USB drives, iDisk, AFP, NFS, SMB, WebDAV.
SmartBackup does not support backup via FTP, tape drives, or direct backup to CDs/DVDs.
Smart archiving
SmartBackup lets you easily archive deleted or changed files. That way the backup stays clean and changed or deleted files are neatly kept in a timestamped folder.
Easy automation with iCal or Automator
Scheduling your single backup can be done by just setting SmartBackup to autopilot and launch it using iCal. If more sophisticated tasks are required, like mounting sharepoints before backup, you can include SmartBackup easily in Automator workflows using the included Automator Action.
Pro flexibility: headless mode
Some people need to do that Unix stuff. Like running backups via ssh or cron. SmartBackup allows you run backups from the commandline as well.
Ready for Intel based Macs
SmartBackup is already a "universal binary" that runs natively on Intel based Macs.
