DESCRIPTION
Tri-BACKUP is a backup utility that automatically saves your data (from a single folder to an entire disk), synchronize folders, and creates and maintains bootable copy of your disk.
- Multiples modes: copy, backup, synchronize, remove, compress, compare, etc.
- Different backup modes: Evolutive (saves successive versions of each document), Mirror (identical copy), Incremental partial backup, Disk Copy, etc.
- Programmed Actions executed in background, with automatic scheduling.
- Immediate Actions to precisely control what must be copied, deleted,or modified.
- Automatic mount of remote volumes.
- And much more.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 5.2.3:
- Add daily reports, and the possibility to send a daily report by email.
- Automatic backups of the list of programmed action (to import previous settings, or recover settings from another machine or after a crash).
- Show a message when the automatic scheduling is activated or deactivated.
- Evolutive folder (containing evolutive data) has a new name: "__(fBACKUP.Evolutive.folder**)" instead of " (BACKUP.Evolutive.folder**)". This allows these folders to be copied to FTP servers and remote servers having a System that does not accept "exotic" characters.
- Add a delayed disabling function (in the Scheduler menu) to disable the automatic scheduling after all actions in the queue are done.
- Various improvements.
- No more check for updates if the option is unchecked in Preferences.
- Fixed an issue with files directly added in the list of items for an Incremental Programmed Action. They are now copied only if they were modified since the last backup (if this option is checked on).
- Various minor corrections.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

GREGJ Stay Far Away From This Software............. They can't even maintain their Web Site. I recommend Super Duper for backup software at a reasonable price. I have used it for many many years and the upgrades are FREE !!!!!!!!!!! Nuff Said !

MINER Nice comment, I also use SuperDuper, but that is a bit of a sublime one-trick pony which I use for cloning. And I use Synk Pro for synchronization, for which it is superb. Tri-BackUp is substantially more versatile than either, which comes at the price of complexity. But for Backup I rely on TBU! A comment that product A is very good adds very little to assess the merits of product B, imo.

WILMA Summary: Great backup, lousy restore I just tested this software. It does a great job backing up, with lots of options. Backups can be native file format in a Finder folder hierarchy, so you can search them with any search utility. Iterative backups get made within the same folder hierarchy, in dated folders. It's fast. It's smart. Unfortunately, Tri-BACKUP's restore functionality is, AFAICT, extremely limited. You can't simply tell it to restore a folder to how it was at last backup ... or at a given date in the past ... or how it was when some previous backup got made. Nope, you've got to manually page through a file list to decide which version of what gets restored. Since I have over 250,000 files in my Documents folder alone, plus a huge photo archive, restoring using Tri-BACKUP just isn't practical. Too bad, because otherwise it's a nice program, and I've heard very good reports about its reliability.

FFASS Great backup software! I've been using this app for years for normal daily backups with no problems. Due to some recent computer problems I've realized that I needed to use Tri-Backup to take my data backups to another level. So, I recently cloned my start up disk to another drive using Tri-Backup and it made a perfect bootable duplicate! I now have the program set up to quickly update the cloned copy at the click of a button. The impetus for cloning my start up drive was what seemed to be a drive failure, but the use of Disk Warrior and an OS reinstall fixed what actually turned out to be a "missing node" problem. I had "evolutive" backups on hand of my data but it still took a day and half to manually drag or reinstall everything back to where it previously was. Having a bootable clone is of great benefit in light of my experience: now if some digital disaster rears it's ugly head, I can now simply reboot to start up drive #2 and jump right back into whatever it was that I was doing on my computer, and deal with the problematic drive at a more convenient time later on. Note that cloning a drive is NEVER a sensible replacement for regular backups of your valuable data! I suggest using Tri-Backup's "evolutive" backup scheme to retain at least 5 previous versions of your important files.

ANONYMOUS Looks interesting. But requires StuffIt to decompress. I don't want to install StuffIt, so I'll have to look elsewhere for a backup program.

FOOZMAN This is good app for backing up to a server or external drive. It allows compression and encryption, and it will make evolutive backups (that save older versions of files). I don't know how I would like it for backing up to removable media like CD-ROMs, but it has this capability. I am currently biased towards Retrospect (expensive), Impression (cheap) or cdbackup (free, but with only command line interface) for that purpose.

ERIC This is a fantastic app. It is the only backup program I found that will allow you to do the various backup actions between user accounts .. no permissions to worry about or access privileges. The interface is very intuitive. Thank you Mr. Developer!

OZNZ Not true, jvhVR : I make bootable drive copies every day. Tri-Backup is the Finest Backup program on the market. It's updated often, It's extremely reliable, and the programmers answer questions promptly. I backup 240 GB/day and have tried every program on the market. CCC is ok but doesn't do 1/10th of what Tri-Backup does. Elegant and Powerful.
