We have discussed about online backup tools and free file hosting services so today, we are going to talk about backup tools for Apple Mac . We will discuss about top 2 tools that should be used for backup in Mac .
iBackup
This application is simple and allows multiple backup profiles which is used to backup files, folders, application and system preferences; and data from system applications (Address Book, iCal, Stickies, Mail, iChat, Safari, iTunes etc.). It is also capable of scheduling backups to a local or networked drive or to WebDAV servers daily or weekly. It can also create archives (.zip) of your backups.
Carbon Copy Cleaner
CCC is fairly popular in the Mac community. CCC is slightly superior over iBackup because it is able to completely clone your hard disk, allowing you to boot directly from your backup and run OS X! CCC is also able to perform incremental backups, scheduled backups up to the hour; and backup to local and networked hard disks. The latest version supposedly works on Leopard but it is still not Universal Binary.

Keep in mind that iBackup and CCC are good backup utilities, but frequent manual backup is still the most reliable. Applications tend to screw up and backup is not something you’d want to mess around with. Go ahead and try these applications, it may work for you!
