Great Free Backup Utility

Here is a great free backup utility that also works in conjunction with Carbon Copy Cloner. It has a scheduled backup feature and is easy to set up.

This seems to have almost dissappeared - the only mirror I could get a download from was University of Kent in England. So if you want a copy - go get it now, while stocks last as they say

What does it do? I realize it sync's the two drives, but if Carbon Copy Cloner is making a clone of the drive, isn't that as "sync'd" as you can get?

Or does psync just schedule its process a little more efficiently than Carbon Copy Cloner?

Yes, for example, you can schedule & select any specific file or folder to backup. You can make multiple backups and schedule them at different times also. It's just more flexible.

Oh okay.

I'll go ahead and install that through Carbon Copy Cloner the next time I go to clone over.

For now I'm off to go write up a "HELP ME!" post about Widgets. =[
