With the recent acquisition of a couple 250GB portable HD’s I knew that the biggest issue would be how to back up all that onto the HD’s. A while ago I posted on the programs that I use to back-up all my data, one piece of software that was among them was Super-Duper. Since that post I have had major issues with this program and have deleted it off my system. A program that has replaced Super-Duper is a great program by the folks at ECon called ChronoSync.
What differs from Super-Duper to ChronoSync is the fundamental differences of what type of back-up it is. Super-Duper will makes a clone of your entire drive (including the errors!). While ChronoSync will back-up and sync just the files on the drive that you have selected. It has automatic back-ups and allows the user to even make sure specific files types aren’t backed-up.
I have yet to have any errors or issues involving back-ups. It has run flawlessly for over 7 months now and you become accustomed to hearing that wonderful “DING” when the back-up is successfully finished.
It costs $30 to buy and has a 30 day trial as well. I would highly suggest any photographer who uses a mac use this software for backing-up their photographs. It can even back-up your files to MobileMe on a consistent basis, a feature which I use daily on an auto back-up.
