Back-Up Software Question

I need some help if anyone has an opinion. I just bought a LaCie external drive to back-up my documents, music, pictures, etc.
It comes with back-up software, but I'm assuming there are better options out there. Does anyone have suggestions for good programs?
I would prefer something with an easy-to-use interface, something that can scan my hard drive at preset times and archive new files and add them to a file on the desktop for easy backing up (I've read about programs that can do this), and something cheap (or even free).
Thanks to anyone who can help here. I am going to back up my files this weekend before updating to 10.4.7 (just in case)
MacBook Pro, 2.0 GHZ, 15" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Welcome to the Apple forums, revilo.  
Probably the most respected, reliable, and easy to use backup software for Mac OS X (also now Universal for Intel Macs) is SuperDuper. It can make a bootable backup on your external hard drive and can also make incremental updates to that backup. (There are some other options, as well, such as only backing up user files - not the system - and making incremental backups to that.) It's biggest limitation is not making backups to CDs/DVDs, but since you're looking for backups to a hard drive, that doesn't seem to be an issue.
SuperDuper may not do exactly what you're describing, but I strongly urge you to give it a look. It's reliable, trustworthy, easy to use, and very well supported. You can use it for free and pay the the shareware fee of $28 when you decide it's worth it.
(No, I have no affiliation. I'm just happy with the product.   :-))

    I have bought a WD My Book World Edition to use for back-up of my iMac, but when I try and log onto the drive with Apple time Machine (back-up software) or connect in any other way I get the message 'There was a problem connecting to the server "MybookWorld.local" The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'
    It is a brand new iMac and running Lion OSX
    Any ideas on how to solve would be gratefully received?

    Followed the directions on this page and it worked!
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1102423
    Part One - Turn on SSH (in the admin panel)
    [1] Go to to http://mybookworld.local
    [2] login: username will be admin, password will be whatever you have setup. If you can't remember it should be in your Mac OS X keychain (Utilities > Keychain Access, search for "mybookworld"). If you have not changed if from the default the password will be admin as well.
    [3] Switch to advanced mode.
    [4] From the System tab, pick Advanced.
    [5] Enable SSH Access, and click submit.
    [6] Click on the network tab and then the LAN button
    [7] Make a note of the IP address
    Small, maybe obvious, but nevertheless important point: For the install to work, your NAS needs to be connected to a router with internet access.
    Part Two - Install netatalk2.2
    [8] Open Terminal.app (Utilities > Terminal)
    [9] Enter the following command (substitute in 127.0.0.1 for the actual IP address you noted down in step 7), then hit return:
    Code: 
    ssh [email protected]
    [10] When prompted, enter the ssh password (will be welc0me).
    [11] You are now going to download the installer. Enter the following command, then hit return:
    Code: 
    wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/netatalk2-2-on-whitelight/install_netatalk.sh -O install_netatalk.sh
    [12] Once completed, you will need to run the installer. Type:
    Code: 
    sh install_netatalk.sh
    [13] You will be asked a number of question during install, answer yes to all. When asked about the "DHX2 login process", I opted to install the modified version, so I can confirm it works.
    [14] Once the box has restarted, you should be able to connect to your afp shares and continue to use Time Machine.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • Hi, can I go back from software version OS X 10.8.1 (12B19) to my old software?

    Hi, can I go back from software version OS X 10.8.1 (12B19) to my old software?

    Which version old software?
    Which exact model computer?
    Did you make a complete clone backup of your old system before upgrading and are you prepared to have things revert to that?
    Usually downgrading operating system requires a complete erase of the computer.  You then clone a previous backup, or completely re-install the operating system and all software plus data files you put somewhere for safekeeping while doing all the other things.  Also some of your data files may have been irrevocably updated to newer versions that will not open on the old system.  Basically, downgrading is not simple unless you prepared for the eventuality in advance.

  • Back-up software

    Not sure where to post this.
    I store no data on my computer boot drive. It's all stored on external FW 250GB ATA drive.
    I will use my boot drive as a working drive, I use Adobe Photoshop, and other RAW file processors, but once the job is done, everything moves off that drive to my external FW drive.
    I hear about DejaVue and Retrospect. Any comments on how back-up software works and what I need to be concerned with? I plan to back up to another external FW drive, and store it off site for safety. Probably back up that main external storage drive once a week unless I get really really busy.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, John!
    Good advice here...
    Im a big CCC fan, but having said that, you might look at the paid version of SuperDuper, which easily does backups of changed/added files, comparing the clone to the original volume. This will most probably be a real time saver. I'd encourage you to check out the free version first (which does full clones only); I'm sure that you'll find the GUI and simplicity of the program to be impressive.
    I have Retrospect, but it's more complex and I have to admit that I don't have the self-discipline to use it religiously (I felt like I was enslaved to administering to backups...). It does incremental backups and cloning (volume duplication) as well as full backups and is very thorough in its reporting.

    I have purchased I phone 4S on April 30th 2014. Since I bought this phone, I have been facing issues such as Battery Back up, Software and Hardware issue and hang issue. I had visited I store last month where they just formatted my phone. The issues were not taken care completely, even till now the issues are on. I would appreciate if you could help me with the right escalation desk for raising my voice to Apple team.

    Hello, when you are having an error on your iPhone and going to the Apple store to get it taken care of, make sure you speak up and provide as much detail as you can. The first iPad Mini I had bought had errors on it, and I didn't speak up and provide further details on my issue.

  • I have a late 2011 macbook pro and it wont update the firmware to 2.7, it downloads the update then says its installing it but when i go back to software update it keeps coming up saying it needs to be updated

    I have a late 2011 macbook pro running OSX Lion, and it wont update the firmware to 2.7, it downloads the update then says its installing it but when i go back to software update it keeps coming up saying it needs to be updated. Im wondering what can i do to stop this or get it to update.

    Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

  • MPV: hwdec=vaapi fails and falls back to software decoding

    I've always been confused by setting up hardware decoding - but a couple of recent threads reminded me of this nagging issue and I took another shot at it.  Yet despite all the claims that mpv should support vaapi, it is simply not working here.  I've followed the instructions here yet mpv falls back to software decoding every time.  I've been searching for related issues, but I can't seem to find any reports from intel graphics users.
    The output from mpv:
    $ mpv --vo=opengl --hwdec=vaapi video.mpg
    Playing: video.mpg
    [stream] Video (+) --vid=1 (mpeg1video)
    [vo/opengl/x11] X11 error: GLXBadFBConfig

    V: 00:00:00 / 00:00:32 (2%) Dropped: 1
    Exiting... (Quit)
    Mpv's man page suggests that vo=vaapi should only be used for old hardware, though it doesn't specify how old.  I gave that a try too.  That avoids the GLX error, yet still falls back to software decoding:
    $ mpv --vo=vaapi --hwdec=vaapi video.mpg
    Playing: video.mpg
    [stream] Video (+) --vid=1 (mpeg1video)

    I have all the drivers/packages listed on the intel graphics wiki page.
    I must be missing something obvious here - the guides seem to suggest this should 'just work' yet mpv keeps falling back to software decoding.

    I was hoping you'd chime in on this one Gusar. Thanks to both of your for the suggestions.  So far no joy, though.  I installed libva-intel-driver-g45-h264 and tried again and received identical output as in my initial post.  I also tried xf86-video-intel-git which also gave no change.
    To be clear, the video plays just fine, but it just relies on software decoding.
    The output from vainfo from after the updates:
    $ vainfo
    libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
    libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
    libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so

    VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD
    VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD
    VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
    edit: for reference/comparison I removed the new packages and got the "pre" vainfo (then reinstalled the aur packages again):
    $ vainfo
    libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
    libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
    libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
    libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
    vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
    As I'm pretty ignorant about video drivers, I'm curious if there are some video files that just would not be able to be hardware-decoded?  I've tried a small number of different videos and am getting the same results with all of them, but if there are video-file constraints, are there any sample/testing videos around I should use for debugging?

  • Stage3d will always fall back to software mode when using flash player 11.6 content debugger

    I just update my flash player and air sdk to 3.6. My game is being developing using starling. And after update was complete, weired things happened. First,it would always fall back to software mode when debugging with content debugger. I just couldn't get to the gpu mode with content debugger! Second, when I run my game with IE 10 with flash player 11.6, some transparent black skins becomes transparent white skins!!!! That drives me crazy!  Surely there are lots of bugs with the release of flash player 11.6 for windows 8!

              No. I was splitting presentation logic (namely servlets and jsp) and business
              logic (ejb) into two layers. Again you don't have to split it into two. You can
              colocate them both together. You could use NES or IIS or Apache or WLS. You
              don't need HttpClusterServlet.
              Lets get this straight.
              1. You need our proxy plugin for failover and to load balance the request that
              are going to presentation logic.
              2. From presentation logic layer, when you talk to backend business logic
              providers (like ejb cluster), if you use stateless session beans we provide
              failover and load balancing. In future we will support clustered stateful
              session beans as well. Therefore you don't need load balancer here.
              3. HttpClusterServlet should run only in front of presentation logic cluster and
              also it supports http only.
              Hope this helps.

  • How do I restore from external drive, with outdated back-up  software?

    I mistakenly kept using my LaCie external drive's Silver keeper softerware after upgrading my Mac OS. My SilverKeeper version is 1.1.2, which I now know is incompatible with my Mac 10.4.6. (Maybe that is why I got an error report when I
    ran the Mac diagnostic disk on the LaCie.) In any event, after suffering a major crash (Kernal attack, and resulting reformat of the hard drive), I am wondering how to attempt a restore from the LaCie. Should I try it with the software that actually created the LaCie back up that I have; or should I reinstall the appropriate version of SilverKeeper first?
    I have been plugging along with some CD back-ups of the LaCie, but this is quite frustrating since it has to be done manually. Is it possible to download an upgrade to the back-up disk directly? And if so, would this really help matters?
    As you can see, I'm really a bit of an idiot about these matters; so any ANY help will be most appreciated.

    My own opinion is that you should install the later appropriate version of Silverkeeper. That said, I would in fact recommend if you can wait a few days for an answer, that you email the La Cie Silverkeeper backup team via the email link on the site at http://www.lacie.com/silverkeeper/
    They are careful to say they are not officially providing a backup service, but when I emailed them with a query regarding usage about a year ago after downloading Silverkeeper for myself, I got a reply within a couple of days that cleared up my question.
