"Makes backing up laptops on a network easy"
Version: ChronoAgent 1.2
Pros
Set ChronoAgent up on you network backup Mac, and every time a laptop is connected to the network it backs up without user intervention. Great in an office. Just set ChronoSync on the laptops to "backup when an agent becomes available".
Cons
Manual and possible variations intimidating at first, but after experimenting for a an hour or so with ChromoAgent and ChronoSync, you realise that it is a really powerful combination which makes reliable backups easy.
Summary
Set up email reporting and details of any missed syncs, errors or rollback are emailed to you.
I use ChronoSync to mirror the Desktop Macs HDDS every 15-30 minutes whilst keeping the last 10 copies of documents in an archive. Accidentally delete something in a document - no problem. HDD failure - loose a maximum of 15-30 minutes.
At the end of the working day, the backup Mac copies all the new/changed files to one of a pair of large HDDs to be taken off site overnight in rotation.
Been using ChronoAgent and ChronoSync combination system for years, and it has been a life saver on many occasions. Technical support is good too.
