This is OT.
I dutifully backup with Retrospect, say every hour, but just now I
needed one of yesterdays versions of one of the over 10000 files that
make up the Magnum Opus. And I couldn't get Retrospect to cough-up the
file even when given the path name. Of course, I know a Retrospect
"expert" who will get me the file but I am fed up.
I just spent over an hour googling for backup software (over FireWire or
Ethernet) to an external hard drive and, most important, one that is
idiot-proof.
SuperDuper ($27.95) , Data Backup ($49), Intego ($70) all appear
reasonable but of course they each claim to be the best. The only Open
Source I found was on the terminal so that ruled it out.
I would very much appreciate any suggestion.
Regards
