Backup 2.0

I’m sitting here composing my thoughts on another entry and Backup 2.0 auto-launched to do its daily backup. I have it doing a backup every morning at 9:30 am of selected files to my external drive. Once a week or so I burn a CD of the really important files.

I noticed the icon bounce in the dock as the app started, and in about 30 seconds it disappeared. Uh oh, I thought. Something went wrong. Nope, it really managed to scan over 6 GB of data and copy what was changed/added yesterday in less than a minute. Sure enough, I took a look at the “G5backup” file on my external drive and everything I did yesterday was there (you can “Show Package Contents” and see everything in standard files). Not bad, and I think it’s working even faster than it did last week under OS X 10.2.7.
