The impetus for cloning my start up drive was what seemed to be a drive failure, but the use of Disk Warrior and an OS reinstall fixed what actually turned out to be a "missing node" problem.
TRI BACKUP 4 UPDATE
So, I recently cloned my start up disk to another drive using Tri-Backup and it made a perfect bootable duplicate! I now have the program set up to quickly update the cloned copy at the click of a button. Great backup software! I've been using this app for years for normal daily backups with no problems.ĭue to some recent computer problems I've realized that I needed to use Tri-Backup to take my data backups to another level.

I recommend supporting companies who maintain ongoing a history of periodic upgrades, instead of one that took almost a year to upgrade to 5.0, and then appear to be forcing existing paid customers to pay when their older version stopped working. I hate being forced to pay software companies because they stop supporting their apps. so you are trapped into paying for the next version. Go with a USA company who's offering lower cost software with a good upgrades track record, who doesn't have a record of increasing their rate when an older version stops working. Pay a company who has effectively raised their rates at a time when their version 4.04 version has become nonresponsive under Panther (something akin to holding some folks by the you know what, because the old version no longer works reliably).ģ. Pay a company who is charging for upgrades and who's upgrade history between versions spans a year a more.Ģ. So they've affectively raised their rates while other just as decent software developed by hard working US developers costs half as much.ġ.

Upgrade price is US$49 from Tri-BACKUP 4 to Tri-BACKUP 5 (normalįirst, the value of the dollar has dropped, so this $49 is not last years $49. Once the beta expires you'll be forced to pay the new software fee:
TRI BACKUP 4 MAC OS X
The new 5.0 beta version is nicely featured as well and seems to respond very well in Leopard.ĭownside is that 4.04 is flaky if it works at all under Mac OS X Leopard, requiring you to dump 4.04 and install the 5.0 beta. Tri-Backup 4.04 was exceptional last year.
