Back Up Your Files with
.Mac Backup 3
Making backups is a little like changing the oil in your car. It seems like just enough
trouble that you’re inclined to put it o∂ ; then, when you have a problem, you kick
yourself for not having taken the time to do it. It’s far too easy to erase a fi le acciden-
tally, make and save changes to the wrong version of a fi le, or have some other
problem you can’t anticipate.
Regular backups are even more important when your iPhoto and iMovie fi les are
the only copies of your precious memories. You’ll want to be sure that your photos
and movies are archived on a regular basis.
.Mac Backup 3 takes the hassle out of making backups, so that you won’t have to
go to extra trouble, remember when to do it, or struggle to replace a missing or
damaged fi le.
You don’t need any special equipment to make backups with .Mac Backup—in fact,
you can use everything from CDs and DVDs to your iDisk or an iPod. You can even
make backups to another hard drive or to a separate area on your computer’s hard
drive. Back up your most important fi les on iDisk to store them safely on Apple’s
secure servers, far from your Mac.
Single-Click iLife Backups
Now that you’re capturing memories with digital photographs and movies, you’ll
want to be sure to protect the only copy of these important fi les with regular backups.
.Mac Backup lets you schedule backups of all your iLife media with a single click.
Easy Setups
In addition to the iLife backup plan, .Mac Backup provides preset plans for backing
up your home folder, your personal data and settings, and your iTunes purchased
music. One click is all it takes to add each of these plans to your list of scheduled
backups; choose the plans that work best for you. Preset plans come with schedules
and destinations, which you can modify at will.
