OS X : Alternative backup software

Daz · 13-11-2009, 11:02

Time Machine is both not flexible enough for what I'm trying to achieve and trying to be too clever at the same time.

Is there a third party solution that will provide point in time restore functionality, but is far less picky about where it backs up to (ie; smb/nfs/ftp/iscsi maybe). We dont need bare metal restore, just need to get the data off the thing reliably while keeping point in time restore. Commercial options are fine.

I have enquired about Mac agents for BE fwiw, but I'd like to leave the restore functionality with the user in this case if possible.
