Apple’s Backup software has been updated to version 3.1.1 and is available for download from Apple’s Web site. It’s a free update.
Backup is utility software offered to users of Apple’s subscription-based .Mac service. It enables you to back up important files, using either your .Mac iDisk or local media, including hard drives, CDs or DVDs. An active .Mac account is necessary for Backup to work.
New features in the 3.1.1 update include improvements to backup and restoration using external hard disk drives; better memory management and better restore of bundled file types.
System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later.
