Martian LifeBoat is a program that makes keeping up-to-date backups as simple as plugging in a USB Flash Drive.

Back up your important data onto your external drives, instantly.

Your Mac holds your life — all your emails, all your photographs, and all your purchased music. You try to keep good backups of these things — but how often do you really run a backup? Wouldn't it be cool if the simple act of plugging in one of your USB Flash Keys or Firewire Hard Drives caused the backup to happen?

...A neat solution from your Martian friends

With Martian LifeBoat, you define sets of files and folders to be backed up (we call these "LifeBoats"). Each LifeBoat is associated with one removable media device — a particular USB Flash Key or external Hard Drive. Each time the associated device is connected to your Mac, Martian LifeBoat springs into action and starts backing up the specified files and folders onto the device. Now, your device contains a perfect mirror of your files.

If you're more into manual backing up, you can, of course, specify that you'll request the update of a LifeBoat by hand each time you want it done. In this case, you can use Martian LifeBoat to make a backup in just three clicks of the mouse.
