I would like to automate daily backups. Is there software that can manage this for me? What do you recommend.   Dave Supporter Username: Dave Post Number: 8440 Registered: 4-1997 Posted on Thursday, January 19, 2006 - 9:33 am:        I use Deja Vu http://propagandaprod.com/dejavu.html   composerjohn Citizen Username: Composerjohn Post Number: 666 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 19, 2006 - 10:14 am:        Perfect. Thanks.   Eponymous Citizen Username: Eponymous Post Number: 17 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 19, 2006 - 1:31 pm:        You may also want to consider whether daily back-ups are necessary. That's pretty frequent, but you may not want to risk your files for longer than that. If you want to keep old versions of things around, you could consider an applescript that just copies files from one folder to another every day, and timestamps them.

John, I thought you had a RAID setup for this already? You can always set up a software RAID using Apple's "Disk Utility"
