“A fast and simple backup tool”
by Cyril Roger
SmartBackup is a surprisingly simple tool to make automatic backups of files on your Mac.
Because your Mac's life isn't eternal and that accidents happen, you need to make backups of your files regularly. SmartBackup offers a up a clear interface from which you can schedule and launch bootable backups of your drive.
The application performs well and can back up to anything, whether an external hard drive, USB stick, iPod, iPhone and even works with Airport. SmarBackup integrates perfectly with Mac applications like Automator, iCal and Keychains, making it easy to automate, schedule and protect backups.
Restore is really easy to use and will scan your disk to find what to replace. If you have Leopard, you'll probably prefer to use Time Machine though.
The key feature is probably how it uses Spotlight search technology. You can create your saved searches for all sorts of specific backups. Let's say I only want SmartBackup to scan for new pictures added to iPhoto every week. I'll just search for these, save the query, and have it scheduled weekly. Easy as that.
A very reliable and fast tool for backups, SmartBackup integrates perfectly with Mac apps, especially the Spotlight search function.
