Simple Backup Utility is the solution for enterprise clients who are unable to utilize Apple's Time Machine because of its limitations in routed environments. While there are many known "hacks" that allow Time Machine to function in unintended scenarios, the results are often unreliable.
Simple Backup Utility is highly reliable and extremely unobtrusive. It lives in the menu bar and displays its status with colored icons and tool-tip notices that are only visible when you hover the cursor over its icon.
When the Simple Backup Utility is actively backing up data, its icon in the menu bar will turn green and animate in a clock-wise direction to indicate its current activity.
Upon successful completion, the icon will cease animation and return to black. Hovering the cursor over the icon will reveal the last successful backup time.
If the Simple Backup Utility is unable to successfully complete a backup within 7 days, its icon will turn yellow. Hovering the cursor over the icon will reveal the number of days since the last successful backup.
