![]() ![]() We at TidBITS were excited to see ChronoSync add options to use Amazon’s Simple Storage System (S3) and Google Cloud Storage as sources or destinations. The nominal successor to Apple’s Backup app may be the 4.7 release of Econ Technologies’ ChronoSync, a long-standing Mac app that offers on-demand and scheduled synchronization and backup. (CrashPlan can also perform local and LAN-based backups.) Independent cloud backup options, like Backblaze and CrashPlan, back up your data for a recurring fee. Time Machine filled the gap for local backups but has never offered a cloud-based option. ICloud eliminated the Backup app’s iDisk option, and iCloud Drive took years to materialize after that, but only for general file storage. Although it was never a good backup app, Backup went through several versions, and in its best-remembered incarnation, it could selectively copy files from your Mac to a MobileMe iDisk, a Finder-mountable version of what would later be called “cloud storage.” Some Mac users remember Apple’s Backup app more fondly than it deserves because nothing quite took its place.

To work around changes to how bootable backups are performed in Big Sur, the synchronization and backup tool introduces the Data Volume-Only backup feature to keep all user Home folders safely backed up. #1627: iPhone 14 lineup, Apple Watch SE/Series 8/Ultra, new AirPods Pro, iOS 16 and watchOS 9 released, Steve Jobs ArchiveĮcon Technologies has released ChronoSync 4.9.12 with numerous tweaks and additions to ensure support for macOS 11 Big Sur. ![]()
