Psync is designed to allow novice computer users to backup either one part of their hard drive or the entire hard drive to another computer.

Psync allows you to backup either part or all of your hard drive. You can mirror your selected folder to a FireWire drive, a disk image, or a network drive (this feature doesn't seem to be working right now).

In addition, psync will create a bootable drive if you mirror your entire harddrive. PsyncX allows you to schedule regular backups as well. (Note: your computer can't be asleep for this to work properly).

What's New:
Created a Universal binary
Created an installer that works with 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4
Updated file locations (Unix files are now back in /usr/local where they belong)
The installer cleans up after former installs
psync.log files in /var/log are now rotated properly using /etc/weekly.local
Fixed a bug that would cause PsyncX to crash on if psync cron lines weren't exactly right
Fixed a bug that made all jobs always run as root. Now users have a choice
Tweaked the interface to work better
Added a Dutch localization.
