Apple's Backup Software
Is it possible to pay for Apple's Backup Software? I know you can get it w/ a subscription to .Mac but i find that service a waste of money. You only get 1Gb of space to cover email, backups, etc. I have 10Gb of backup (pics, music, videos, etc) I know you can buy more space but i mean come on, thats a yearly fee. I took my $100 and bought a WD Passport 80Gb external drive and now I have about 80Gb of space that i can keep forever. Plus i already have an email acct w/ over twice as much space (2.6G) and it was free! (Gmail)
Bascially I just really liked the Backup Utility but don't want to pay $100 per yr because I don't think the rest of the service is worth the money. Is there Any way to purchase this program? If not i'll just have to go w/ a diff program but i thought it was worth the try.
thx

No.
Also, Apple's Backup app can backup to DVD or an HD, so you're not limited to iDisk space.
I may just look into these other backup utilities and carry my 1Gb jump drive haha. thx for the help though
Whats the story with these incremntal updates??? 2 more and I'm out of space!!!
Any reccomendations for a better auto update/backup solution?
I've long thought it stupid that Apple didn't include Backup with OS X or at least iLife.

SuperDuper!
I use Backup and .Mac, but a lot of people really like SuperDuper! as an alternative.
oh and btw, this new External hard drive i got (WD 80Gb Passport) is great. Seems pretty quick too.
newayz thx for everyones help.
I really feel that Apple should include backup as part of the OS with the .Mac integration being a bonus.
I currently used iBackup, which is a fairly good replacement.
