iMsafe 2: Backup for Mac OS X

backing up is easy and safe

SweetCocoa has opened the public beta phase of iMsafe 2, the popular backup tool for Mac OS X. iMsafe 2 is completely rewritten from the ground up to take advantage of the advanced functionality in Mac OS X 10.3.

Catheleyne D'hondt, PR manager at SweetCocoa says:
      "We want iMsafe to become the best backup tool for Mac OS X", said "Therefore, we are releasing iMsafe 2 as a fully functional public beta to get as much feedback as possible from the Mac OS X community."

iMsafe can backup to USB and FireWire HDs, iPods, Pendrives and to remote Macs on the network. With iMsafe you can run incremental backups, featuring the possibility to transfer only the differences in the files at both sides, while file permissions, modification dates and all other file attributes are preserved.

When scheduling a backup to another Mac on the network, iMsafe can automatically connect to that Mac before starting the backup. The dock icon will inform you about your backup status. A detailed backup report is automatically saved for every backup task, making it easy to keep track of backups. iMsafe is entirely made using Cocoa, Apple's advanced application framework, and that is very visible, even for end users. By leveraging Cocoa, iMsafe really looks and feels like a native Panther application, including dock icon feedback and a fully customizable toolbar.

D'hondt continued:
      "Even if you tested iMsafe 1.x in the past, you are encouraged to give this new version a try... and if you happen to have comments or suggestions, you can use the built-in feedback mechanism."
