[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 699214, member: 11094"] There are no other options for your backup. The simple act of scheduling a weekly full backup job that overwrites the previous weeks full backup. Or even expiring backup jobs. Even TimeMachine has expiring backup albeit not user specified. I tried Backup.app because it came with my .Mac account and was an Apple app. However, even though it did backup and restore my data, it didn't provide me the granular usage of other backup applications. I find disk ti disk backups require jobs to have expiration thresholds or guess what,...the jobs will start to fail from lack of disk space. I run OS X Server at home and found that the built in TimeMachine backup services in Leopard server were less than desirable and still in their infancy. I find the directory synchronization apps like Deja Vu and Sychronize Pro are ideal for most users. They usually provide at least a week of archiving and also support network drives. Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper say they support network drives, but In my real world trials they were very slow and failed frequently. bruClone and bruLE are pay products that work great on external HD's but not network drives. If you're using Backup with your iDisk, keep in mind that all data traffic as well as data storage is NOT encrypted. [/QUOTE]
