And of course restore files from remote servers. The main purpose is to ease the use of rsync and synchronize files on your Mac to remote FreeBSD and Linux servers. RsyncGUI is not developed to be an easy synchronize and backup tool. The GUI is good enough and I really couldn’t ask more from a free software, it does the job. It’s open-source and completely free, so if money is an issue this should be your first choice. FreeFileSyncįreeFileSync is what I’ve used for many years and it works fine. Having said that, both SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner will do the same job and do it well.Ĭlick here for a good comparison between CCC and SuperDuper. When it comes to backups saving you in the event of a meltdown, trust is essential. It probably has a more stable and bigger dev. Carbon Copy ClonerĬarbon Copy Cloner is the most polished of all the candidates and costs $60.
The only advantage is it’s cheaper than CCC, coming in at $40. I’ve tried it but it didn’t feel as slick as Carbon Copy Cloner. SuperDuper’s website feels like we’re still in the 90s and it’s hard to trust such a website and the software it is selling. I’m quite a fanatic about making backups of every digital asset I have, so having a reliable software to handle backups is essential to me.
