This application has saved my rear end quite a few times. More importantly, it makes managing specific files within a Time Machine backup much more granular and simple. While the idea of constant-backup with versioning is great, the practice of the Time Machine restore interface was lacking for our setup.

We have several Macs at our small office, all have Time Machine backup disk arrays of 4TB or more (one is 10TB at the moment.) Back in Time makes working with the backups simple, even if you're working with a disk or disk image from another machine; which is where Back-In-Time has saved me the most.

Look, if this review sounds overly glowing, I can't help it, this utility paid for itself over and over. While there are features I'd like to see the developer has been responsive and forthcoming.

I took off half a a star because there are some interface tweaks that could be used to clarify things just a little bit more (like the drive/folder listing) and a more efficient way to search for recently back-up files across ALL disks and arrays, not just a single one - but these are minor quirks for such a useful utility.

I had a problem with my disk and had to restore not all but some applications, application data, documents, etc.

With Back-In-Time I restored file from different backups until I got everything in place again.

With Time Machine I could not have done this.

Hallo

I'm from Holland I hope to write english that you can understand.
I have an Imac and I use time machine.
This week the power went off and time machine was backing up.
Later when the power was back Time machine could not make a backup.
I used the disk program and after 1 hour i could see the time machine volume.
He made a file that's called in progress.
When I could delete the file the problem is over.
I did that once , a year ago when the same happened.
But now I can't delete or what ever.
I took a new disk and made a full time machine back up on it and than I tried to copy the files from the auther disk on it.
But time machine said you can't change anything in time machine.
My question is: Can I delete the file and copy the files when I purchase back-in-time 2???
please tell me

From developer:
Back-In-Time can copy and restore data from the Time Machine backups, even from an old disk no longer used by Time Machine (but containing old backups).
There is no way to merge the backups from an old disk to your new Time Machine disk (to create a single disk with all your backups).
The solution is to connect your old disk and use Back-In-Time when you need to recover data from old backups.

It gives me total control over Time Machine. It's just what it lacks in TM for to be not only easy and reliable but practical and dynamic.

No one Time Machine without Back-In-Time.

The Version 1.4.8 is useful product but the store has problems.

I've attempted upgrading to 2.0. There are financial transaction problems. I'm left with doubt as to the validity and safety of the transaction.

Be careful with this one.

We have numerous orders of upgrades (and full versions) without problem every day, and payment on our web store is done on a secure web page.
Be sure to enter your correct email address, and you'll receive your serial number immediately after completing the payment.
In case of any problem, send an email to support(at)tri-edre.com and we'll solve it.

Found it somehow useful for average user. Ok product....

But found that initial version 2 happily upgrade from version 1 recently start show EXPIRED. Look like this app not politely ask people to buy an upgrade but locking itself until you pay.

RIP OFF!!! Be aware

P.S, Why I cannot use OLD version if I happy with it? Why you force people to buy unjustified update?

Hello,

You can of course continue to use Back-In-Time 1. Disable check for updates option in the preferences (to avoid being alerted that there is a version 2).
Note 1: Back-In-Time 1 is always available on our website.
Note 2: No problem to have both versions 1 and 2 installed at the same time.

Changes to this already very useful utility seem significant and well worth the investment. But has anyone been able to actually get hold of the 2.0 upgrade (the paid upgrade)? I placed an order for this (from the Tri-Edre online store) more than a week ago.

My credit card was, I believe charged, but I never received the upgrade serial number, as promised. Repeated emails to their support and sales addresses have been bounced back as undeliverable. I'm beginning to think that something is seriously amiss and that I'm going to have to take the matter up with my credit card company...

Hello,
I am the developer of Back-In-Time. We always reply to emails, so there must be an issue somewhere.
You should check your spam folder. If you do not find your order confirmation email with your serial number, contact us at support(at)tri-edre.com or directly send an email to me at trolland(at)tri-edre.com.

The developer contacted me soon after I posted my earlier comment about a failure to receive my 2.0 upgrade serial number. It took several more email attempts to sort this all out -- it appears that my ISP has been blocking email to and from Tri-Edre for reasons that are still a mystery -- and I quickly received my serial number.

Looks like Back-In-Time 2 is a paid upgrade. (USD$10).

Indeed. From the site of the makers www.tri-edre.fr :
Upgrade Price:
- In Europe: 9.99 Euros
- Outside Europe: US $9.99

What I find really puzzling is the European pricing: since the developer is European (France located), then why charge Europeans more than buyers/users outside Europe? Last time I checked, US $9.99 was about 7.81 Euros!

Hello,
I am the developer of Back-In-Time.
In France, we must display prices including VAT taxes (19.6%), so the Euro price seems higher than the US$ price (we try to have similar prices for both currencies, but the US$/Euro change rate is not really stable ;-) ).

After a quick look, it seems one can't search for a file name in Time Machine. It appears one needs to navigate to the file (which implies knowing it's location). That's a negative for me.

Back-in-Time also complained that I have Time Machine turned off. But that's only because I have a third party whigamagig controlling the backups to reduce their frequency.

Doesn't seem right for me.

There certainly is the ability to search by keyword or filename. Try selecting your time machine drive in the left panel, clicking on the magnifying glass and now enter your search criteria. Be kinda pointless with out the search.

The TED updater sees v2.0.2 and keeps downloading 1.4.8 repeatedly.
I see from the comments that this is not a free upgrade.
The user should be warned that it isn't free.
