Deja Vu offers an innovative new approach to backing up your files. It's a preference pane that shows up in your System Preferences, and it allows you to schedule unattended backups of important folders, or even your entire system.
Perform your backup manually at the click of a button, or schedule your backups to run whenever it's convenient for you.
Backups may be scheduled on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, and will be performed even if you aren't logged in.
D?j? Vu has been localized for English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Ukrainian, Finnish, and Russian.
Let D?j? Vu take care of backing up your files. You've got better things to do with your time.
Here are some key features of "Deja Vu":
Backup an unlimited number of folders.
Accurately clone your OS X system disk, producing a bootable copy. (You can use it to clone OS 9 disks, too.)
Perform backups manually at the click of a button, or schedule them to run whenever it's convenient for you. Backups may be scheduled on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, and may be performed even when you aren't logged in.
Save time by backing up only the files that have changed since the last backup.
Perform backups over a network. D?j? Vu can even automatically connect to remote servers at backup time!
Mirror the contents of folders. Files which have been deleted from the source folder can optionally be deleted from the destination folder as well.
Keep your system in good health by automatically repairing your disk permissions before backing up.
Deja Vu has been localized for English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Ukrainian, and Finnish.
Limitations:
You will be offered Deja Vu's full, unrestricted functionality for a period of 30 launches. After this, the software will expire, and you will be given an opportunity to purchase a license code.
