I'm curious, those of you with more modern Mac's running Tiger, what do you use to backup files on your Mac? I know a few people who use .Mac and some who burn files manually. I haven't checked Tiger on my G3 yet but is there a built in backup utility? Otherwise is there any particular application that is easiest?
It would be nice if the Mac application was savvy enough to know where the files were data files were and did it automatically to CD/DVD. Personally I have a 2X CD-RW & a 52X Firewire CD-RW available to me. The 2X works fine but the other I haven't tried. I really don't have anything to backup at all, I just want to know my options in case I get a call from one of my friends asking.  |

Here are some different Mac backup apps.

I personally just use rsync to copy things to an external drive. It isn't the perfect, but it works well enough for me. |

Also, there is a fairly new app out called Disco, which is supposed to have support for spanning CDs. It isn't specifically a backup app, more of a CD/DVD burner. |

Stay away from Retrospect Backup (or whatever it's called). It's a really awful, non-intuitive system.

It's awful for PC's too from what I've seen. |

It's just generally awful.
