Version: Super Flexible File Synchronizer 4.32
"Easily backs up to FAT formatted disks"
Pros: Back up to FAT-formatted flash drives or other non-Mac.drives. Easy selection of files to be copied, synchronized or moved. Can copy files in either direction (useful for restores). Copied files can be read without the use of the copying program.
Cons: For some reason the help file crashes when searched.
Summary: Time Machine is so good and so easy to use that it has probably taken away most of the market for backup software for the Mac. But one limitation of Time Machine - and SuperDuper!, which is the other "best" Mac backup program -- is that it will only back up to disks formatted with the HFS+ file system. If, after a data loss event, you are restoring to another Mac, that limitation is no problem.But what if you are traveling and you lose your MacBook with all your data? Even if you have a portable backup drive with you, the chances are high that you will need to use a non-Mac computer to access your data. In that case, neither Time Machine nor SuperDuper! can help you, but Super Flexible File Synchronization can. I used it to copy all the important data on my MacBook to a 32 GB flash drive, so if I should be so unlucky as to lose my MacBook, all I need to do to access my important data is to insert my flash drive into the USB port of any computer I can find and all of my data will be accessible without any delay.
