Backup Buddy is a small backup application focused on simplicity and ease of use. It bridges the gap between Apple's Time Machine and complex full-featured backup solutions which have dozens of settings.
Just like Time Machine, Backup Buddy will create a chronological archive of your data, each time updating only the changes.
You can also choose to automatically place your backup data inside a disk image file, which can be very useful in situations where you want to store your data on a network volume that is not Mac-formatted (an SMB server of example).
Some of the key features of backup Buddy are:
- Designed to be simple. No complicated settings; we make all the hard decisions for you.
- Gives you full control over the really important stuff: choosing what you want to backup, where you want to save your backup, and when you want the backup to occur.
- Creates chronological backups by using hard links to save disk space, just like Apple's Time Machine.
- Can save your data inside a disk image, making it easier to safely store your data on non-Mac network volumes.
