Customer Reviews of Data Backup 2.0 (Mac)
It Works! I was using Retrospect which was bundled with my external hard drive. However, it refused to work after I upgraded the OS on my iBook. I ordered Data Backup 2.0 and had no problems getting it up and running. I've had it about a month and have had no problems with weekly incremental backukps. It works fine.
Simple and does the job
I did not want anything complicated, and this fits the bill. It so far has had no problems or crashes, and it is very very easy to set up a backup. I am using the 'simple copy' type because I don't ever trust sychronized backups. If I want to delete something on the archive, I want to do it myself.

>I would never use a back up program that used some proprietary format for storing the backup, because then you not only have to hope your backup is good but you have to hoe the company stays in business and doesn't have some flaw in its scheme. This product avoids all that.

<
>I got the 30 day free trial from the company web site, but it was cheaper to order it on Amazon than buy the serial number directly from the company. All you get in the box is a CD with no manual and no documentation, but you don't need that because it is so easy and simple to use.

Possibly the Best Backup Software for the Mac
Data Backup 2 from Prosoft Engineering is possibly the best backup software for the Mac. The user interface is intuitive and exceedingly easy to use. The PDF manual is clear and comprehensive yet concise (a printed manual would be nice, but is not included). Technical support is excellent. Free updates are released periodically. The latest update (2.0.5) is compatible with the newly released Mac Operating System 10.4 (code name Tiger).

>(2) The option to skip files selected on the basis of name, size, extension, etc.

<
>Data Backup 2 is far easier to use than Dantz Retrospect and it does not compress files into a proprietary format that only this application can open. With Data Backup 2, the compressed files can be viewed individually and opened with Stuffit Expander to verify that the backup proceeded without errors.

>Data Backup 2 is far more powerful and flexible than Iomega Automatic Backup (which appears to no longer be supported by Iomega).
