Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi
I have the Backup 3 application on my iMac, running Mountain Lion.
I am also using time machine.
I was in the Apple Store today (not with my iMac). I couldn't find the application on any of their machines. Their techncians were not familiar with the program.
Is Backup still relevant to use?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iPhoto '11
Backup is pretty much dead. It's not really relevant if you're using Time Machine.
It used to be nice because Backup could easily make offsite backups to MobileMe. That's obviously no longer an option. YOu could use it to make backup DVDs or something, if you're neighbors with Fred Flinstone or Barney Rubble :-)
Thanks so much, and to gibbyice too, for the helpful replies. Thomas you have wise words here. I am getting a 2TB external tomorrow! I just got a new (well, used, but barely) Mac Mini server with two 500 gb drives. I want a clean start, and a better backup routine, when I start using that machine--just waiting on my new 27 inch NEC monitor! 🙂
How do I restore files I backed up to DVD using Backup3? The discs just show up with a sprace bundle in them, and I can recover some files by just opening the bundle, but some videosa re split and I can't seem to find a way to rejoing them. Sugestions?
Backup 3 v3.2, is it still relevant?
