Free backups software for mac

backup 1.0 is a professional and complete package which provides unattended backups for MacOS. When used on MacOS 10.4 (Tiger), it will generate appropriately-sized, tar-format archives, including the resource forks, in dated, sequentially-numbered burn folders on the user's Desktop, ready to burn to DVDs or CDs. (With MacOS 10.2-3, the ready-to-burn archives will not include the resource fork, and will be in folders with the suffix .fpbf).

If you have enough disk space, you can back-up your entire system. You can optionally back-up only files newer than a specified date for incremental back-ups. If you are short of disk space, you can use the -m option to manually burn each volume.

The default paths to back-up are configured into the script, so usage for regular back-ups is simply backup in a terminal, or you can double-click backup in the Finder. Optionally, the paths to back-up and various options can be specified on the command line.

Bak is a simple automated backup server application which requires no client software to be installed on the remote client machines.

Internally, Bak uses the unix tools ssh, rsync and (optionally for automated backups) cron. It also uses hard links to old backups to make incremental backups into real full backups without taking up the space of full backups.

Can backup several remote clients of any operating system that has rsync installed and ssh enabled. Automated backups can be configured to run even when there is no account logged in. Can be configured to send email notifications at end of backups.

NB: This is a simple piece of software that was developed for my own use, and comes with no help or support, so use at your own risk.

Hint: To back up the local machine to itself (eg, to an external hard drive), set the "Remote Host" to "localhost".

Tune Backup 1.0 is a beneficial and easy-to-use application which provides a easy-to-use backup solution for your iTunes library.

Simply tell Tune Backup where your iTunes Library.xml file is, where you would like your backed up files to go, and click the sync button. Your library will be incrementally synced. This means that if you sync your library in morning, add a song later in the day, and sync again at night, only the new file will be copied.

Backup Mail is a small AppleScript that scans all Eudora mailboxes for messages older than the value of "aging" in days.
It moves any messages it finds to a designated mailbox "BackupMailbox."

Any mailboxes listed in the Exclude property are not checked, and this may be confirmed because the windows of unchecked mailboxes are not closed by the script. This allows the user to easily move any desired messages to the backup folder manually. I exclude "In" because the vast majority of my mail gets filtered, and "In" usually contains on-going conversations with people or messages I want to keep available.

Completly freeware.
