BasicBackup X is a basic backup tool for MacOSX and MacOS 8/9 that does not require .mac account.

You can add multiple backups, and choose which to run by selecting in the list (using the SHIFT and COMMAND key modifiers)

Only files which have changed are backed up, so the first time you backup may be slow, subsequent backups should be much faster!

This software is no substitute for commercial backup applications, but it does have the advantages that it is very simple (unlike Retrospect), runs on MacOS 8,9 and X (unlike iMsafe) and does not require a .Mac account (unlike Apple Backup), and is FREE.

Disadvantages are that it is slow, does not support scheduling, and cannot initiate network volume connections, and restores must be done manually.

However as an alternative to having NO backups, or for simple home setups, it fits the bill perfectly!
