Dobry Backuper is an elegant and efficient backup software for Mac. This native Mac OS X application, powerful yet easy to use, will help you to create incremental, versioned and full backups of your valuable data.

The built-in flexible schedule allows to fully automate the process of backup making. Just a few mouse clicks, and you may sleep placidly - you will always have an up-to-date backup of your files in case of a hard drive failure.

Sophisticated filters and on-the-fly compression allow to minimize the size of the backup, saving only the essential data.


Dobry Backuper creates tar-compatible backup archives which can be saved to any locally mounted device, including FireWire, USB, ATA, SCSI, or network volumes, or burnt directly to the CD or DVD disks.

Here are some key features of "Dobry Backuper":
Create full, versioned and incremental backups.
You can create backups using one of the three methods:
Full - all selected files are saved, and the resulting archive replaces the previously created one.
Versioned - all selected files are saved in a new backup archive, and the previous archives remain intact.
Incremental - each time a backup is built, only the files that were changed are saved in the new backup archive.
Flexible schedule allows to automate the backup process.
The flexible, customizable scheduling tool allows to fully automate the backup process, so that backups are built on a regular basis (daily, weekly or monthly). You can specify the backup start time to a minute. You can create a separate schedule for each backup, based on its specifics.
Back up to any mounted device/drive, including FireWire, USB, ATA, SCSI, CD and DVD devices, or network volumes.
The program allows to save backups to any locally mounted device or volume, for which the current user has the read/write access.

Limitations:
30 days fully functional trial version.
What's New:
Improved Mac OS 10.4 compatibility.
Added selective restore options.
Improved support for incremental backups.
Fixed Help system.
Corrected support for network devices.
Other minor improvements and bug fixes.

What's New:
Dramatically reduced cache size for CD/DVD backups. Now when backing up a large amount of data to a set of CDs or DVDs, the amount of free hard drive space required by the program equals to the size of one CD or DVD, respectively. Previous versions required as much free space as the total size of the data to be backed up.
More detailed logging for CD/DVD backups. Now the log for CD/DVD backups displays additional messages, allowing the user to monitor the backup process with more detail.
Burning failure message box. A message box is now displayed if the burn to CDs or DVDs was unsuccessful. In the previous versions of the program this notification appeared in the log only.
Added ability to re-burn to another media immediately if the burn to CD or DVD was unsuccessful.
Improved handling of filenames with service symbols. Fixed problems with handling filenames with symbols '[', '', '*' and '?'.

Requirements:
Apple Macintosh G3 or higher
Mac OS X v10.3 or later. *
2 MB of available disk space for application.
Some available extra disk space for temporary files if you plan to write backups on CDs or DVDs.**

* There is also ability to launch the program on 10.2.x systems if GNU tar 1.13.25 or later is installed.
** The size of extra hard disk space equals to the maximum size of presumed backups that are planned to be saved to CDs or DVDs. Basically, it should be accessible on the device where tmp folder for the current user is located.
