![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you have an external drive connected via FireWire (or, if you’re using an Intel Mac, USB), you can create a bootable backup of your Mac’s internal drive, then use Synchronize Pro X’s automated backup feature to periodically update the contents of that drive. Even for users who have dabbled with Time Machine, Synchronize Pro X is a breeze to use-perhaps not quite as “set it and forget it” as Time Machine, but more useful if you think you might need to boot up from a backup disk. Synchronize Pro X performs all of these tasks admirably, and thanks to some core improvements in the 6.0 release, does it even faster than before.įor users of Tiger and Panther, Synchronize Pro X’s usefulness is obvious-those operating systems don’t include backup software, and Synchronize Pro X fits the bill quite well. Synchronize Pro X helps with three major tasks: Creating a bootable backup of your system that you can use to restore your files in the event of a catastrophic failure (Time Machine requires you to reinstall Leopard and then migrate from your backup to achieve the same result) backing up some or all parts of your hard drive to another drive or to any mounted volume, including network drives and synchronizing the contents of a folder that appears in more than one location. So what should users do if they can’t or don’t want to use Time Machine? One excellent solution is Synchronize Pro X 6.0.1, from Qdea. But many people’s backup needs may not be best served by Time Machine, and many others haven’t upgraded to Leopard yet. Apple’s Time Machine software, included with Mac OS X 10.5, is great as a starting point for making and keeping regular backups of your computer’s content. ![]()
