Mac users want to back up their files to and from a variety of
locations, and Personal Backup X5 helps them do so. Intego, the Macintosh security specialist, announced the release of Personal Backup X5 10.5.2, a free update to its popular data protection software. This new version provides performance enhancements, and also offers the ability to back up files to and from FTP and SFTP servers.
Most people who have their own web sites access these sites via FTP, or file transfer
protocol. With Personal Backup X5, users can now back up to and from their FTP
server, using standard FTP or SFTP (SSH file transfer protocol). To do this, users
merely choose Network Drive as either a source or destination for a Personal Backup X5
script, then enter the server’s address (beginning with ftp:// for a standard FTP server, or
sftp:// to use secure FTP). Personal Backup X5 doesn’t need to mount the FTP server in
the Finder in order to make its backups. These scripts can be scheduled, so users can
run a daily backup of files on their FTP server, or back up personal files to an SFTP
server at any preset time.
Personal Backup X5 is the versatile backup program for Mac, offering backups, bootable
backups and synchronizations. Personal Backup X5 protects Mac users from disasters
by backing up files regularly. Users can create custom scripts to meet their precise
needs, and Personal Backup X5’s scheduled scripts ensure that users always have upto-
date backups.
Personal Backup X5 can back up important files to any hard disk, network volume or
optical disc. The program can also create bootable backups of entire Macs, so users can
get back to work quickly in case of system problems. And Personal Backup X5 can
synchronize folders or volumes, to ensure that each one contains the same files.
– Aviability:
Personal Backup X5 10.5.2 is available now. This version is a free update for all users of
Personal Backup X5, and is available for download via NetUpdate, Intego’s automatic
update tool.
