Versomatic Back-up
11 Mar 07 Filed in: Software
The official line:
Back-up, back-up, or hiccup. So when was the last time you saved a copy of your hard disk, just in case Judgement Day comes early and all your data is terminated without notice? Probably not in living memory!
Let's be honest, with almost no practicing cloners out there, there are more HDD accidents waiting to happen than stars in the skynet. But that doesn't mean you have to be one of the stats, ie one of the users left with an achey feeling in their stomach, due to a bad dose of If only-itis.
We aren't just talking about filing, deleting then rescuing a love letter to your dishy Aunt Nellie. You can restore all those system files you screwed with on a drunken trip through your Mac the day after you bought it. On the downside, obviously the files you want to retrieve have to be stored somewhere, so Versomatic is yet another reason to head on over to the Techboggle Deal of the Day for a cheap Hard Drive.
This app all looks very pretty in a minimalistic right click dialog box kind of way. The graphic to explain the selection of old versions is a bit prettier, I guess..
But hello, isn't it a bit obsolete already? Time Machine is a major feature of the upcoming Leopard Operating System due this year.
That will presumably be the new Back-up system of choice, but for the oldies on Tiger, Versomatic will have to do. And for the even older oldies like us on Panther, as you were! Back-up, back-up, back-up.
Sounds impressive, and no reason why it wouldn't work well.With Versomatic installed, all file changes are catalogued and archived automatically in real-time without you even noticing. Then go back at any time and view or recover a needed earlier version of a file instantly. Versomatic can even recover previously deleted files regardless of when they were deleted

Versomatic is a system-wide option

Versomatic is pretty but old
