Time Machine


Time Machine, the backup software included with the Mac OS since OS X 10.5, lets you easily create and maintain current backups of all your important data. It also makes recovering lost files a simple, and dare I say fun, process.

Silver Keeper


SilverKeeper is free application from LaCie that automates backups to external storage devices like hard drives, and other removable storage devices that have SATA/eSATA, IDE, ATA/ATAPI, SCSI, USB, or FireWire interfaces. It is now compatible with OS X 10.3.9 through 10.5.x. This includes the current version 10.5.5 of OS X.

Mathusalem

Mathusalem is a robust and unintrusive backup system for Mac OS X Leopard, which can be used either as a System Preferences pane or directly as a command line tool. Mathusalem is complementary to Time Machine as it backups automatically one or more directories of your choice to remote servers in order ensure extra safety of your most important data. Be aware that Mathusalem is not designed to “clone” an entire file system or a subportion of it, but instead to optimally handle everyday simple backups.

Bonkey


Bonkey runs on both Mac and Windows & has a lot of great features. It supports email, FTP, and Amazon S3, compression, encryption, scheduling, and synchronization. It’ll even back up MS SQL server databases.
