Output

Backup software tends to hide your files inside a format only it can read. Lose the app, and the backup becomes a puzzle.

macOS Backup keeps every version as an ordinary dated folder. Browse it in Finder, restore by dragging, and if the app ever vanished every backup it made would still open.

03 / Features

In the
box.

No database, no snapshots

Each backup is a real folder full of your real files. Later versions share storage with earlier ones, so history costs far less than full copies.

Drives or a NAS

Back up to spinning drives, SSDs, or a Linux machine over SSH using the keys you already have — no passwords stored.

Check before you commit

Test a destination for version history and metadata support, and see plainly whether the backup will fit before the first run.

Adopt an existing backup

Already mirrored by another tool? Take that copy over in place — nothing is recopied, however large it is.

Browse by date

Step back through every version of a folder, the way Time Machine lets you, without the opaque storage.

Your schedule

Run jobs on whatever schedule suits each project, or by hand when a session wraps.

04 / Specifications

Questions,
briefly.

Is this my only backup?

It shouldn’t be — no single tool or drive should be. Keep at least one copy on a different drive or off-site, and open a restore now and then to check it is what you expect.
