Have you ever wanted an easy way to backup all the important files in your home folder? Are you tired of sifting through the Library directory to find the folders you need to backup?

Let's say you just want to backup your Apple Mail database file, not all you have to do is click the "Apple Mail" checkbox and click "Backup".

Supported important files include:

- Apple Mail Files
- MS Entourage Files
- iCal Calendars
- Address Book database
- Safari, Firefox, Camino bookmarks
- iPhoto and iTunes Libraries
- iWeb website files
- Home Documents folder
- Full home folder backup.

This is not some proprietary system, all backups are placed in a read-only disk image which ensures you can access it on any Mac. But what is backup without restore. Choose an image created by this program, and the backed up contents will automatically be detected for you, Then decided what you want to restore, and click "Restore".

The contents will be placed back into their original directory automatically replacing it's contents. This is the perfect solution for those who want to be able to clone their home directory and replace it on another Mac untouched.

What's New:
Added beta ability to restore an iTunes library from an iPod. Support for reimporting playlist files will be coming soon.
Under the hood tweaks, especially how the progress bar displays the progress of the operation.
