I'm looking for a backup software other than TimeMachine

Hi,
I really don't need to backup my whole HD (250GB). I only need to backup my music folder and iPhoto folder. Time Machine can only backup the whole harddisc. Can somebody recommend a tool/application that makes this possible?

Super Duper is an excellent program with plenty of options. I would wait for the next update. I decided to try it and here's what happened: Super Duper allows one to set your back up Firewire drive up as bootable "clone". It will copy over either all files, user files, or just files that have been changed since the last back up. Normally, whatever version of OSX is installed on the back up drive remains unaffected by a back up. You have to boot up from the clone and then run software update on it, or do an install for a major revision. My iMac had been updated to Leopard but I left the back up clone in Tiger on purpose. Unfortunately after the last back up the clone is now showing itself as a 10.5 disk in the Startup Disk menu and will no longer boot nor can I repair permissions. I will have to either install Leopard on it or re-install Tiger. By the way, my Leopard iMac won't run the Tiger install disk anymore. I guess I'll have to use an older G3 iBook I still have.

  • Looking for a Backup software with remote encrypted files and FTP or WebDav support

    I know and have been using a bunch of software to backup my files, but none of them respond to my needs. I have a server running (windows xp) at a friends of mine with SSH, FTP and WebDAV capabilities.
    I want to be able once a week to incrementally backup my iTunes, iPhoto and important documents to this remote location. I know there are may tools on the market that does this, but here is the trick, I want the files on the remote machine to be encrypted. The connection is 10Mbits.
    I though that some of you might already be using such a solution or will have a good idea to share with me and the community on how to do this efficiently.

    So Novastor is blowing my phone up because they want me to renew this month.
    I have been with them for a couple of years...and I am just not that impressed.
    It was cheap software, but to this day, I still dont have full confidence that it actually will work if sh*t hits the fan. It has saved me on one occasion, but it required 2 calls to tech support because recovering from bare metal is insanely difficult compared to other software I have used.
    Anyway, I am looking to see what my options are. My basic requirement is that it needs to be able to use tape. Symantec did a great job with tapes so I am leaning in that direction but they are so damn expensive. 
    So I put it out to you guys, because I love getting real world opinions, instead of salespeople pounding down the doors.

  • I am looking for a backup drive for my macbook pro, any suggestions?

    I have a macbook pro and I am looking for a backup drive.  There are so many out there and I would like suggestions for which one to purchase.  Thanks!

    Pretty much any drive will work, but for a laptop, you might like to get a portable drive (doesn't require that you connect it to power) with USB3. Thunderbolt drives are also available, but they're more expensive and no faster than USB3 for a single hard drive.
    I personally like the Lacie rugged series: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9377ZM/A/lacie-1tb-rugged-hard-drive-triple-u sb-30-5400-rpm?fnode=5f
    If you shop around you should be able to get it a little cheaper than Apple's prices.

  • I'm looking for photo editing software

    I am looking for photo editing software that is fairly easy to learn and I also want the feature of adding a splash of color to a black & white photo.  I've seen there is Photoshope Elements and there is Lightroom.  What is recommended?

    For editing an Image, as you describe, Photoshop Elements would be my choice.
    There is also a very helpful, and active Ps Elements Forum, where you will find easy instructions on doing what you describe, plus much more. Should you go with Ps Elements, that forum is: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    In general, if you have a Grayscale Image (B/W), just change the Color Mode to RGB, create a New Layer, and paint in the color that you want. However, since I do not use Ps Elements, there might be some extra things, that will help you get the desired results, and that Ps Elements Forum will be great at helping you.
    Good luck,

  • Using other software other than i tunes?

    Can i use other software other than itunes?. If so ,do i need to use the updator before connecting and synching with other software such as windows media player?.

    Yes, you can. But Windows Media Player cannot be used.
    Some of the programs you can use are:
    (1) Winamp (with iPod plugin)
    (2) Xplay
    (3) Anapod
    Note that these are 3rd party programs which are not supported by Apple. If you elect to use them, you will have to ask the software developers for support.
    By the way, why do you want to use another software rather than iTunes?
