i back up 2x a month, with silverkeeper.
i check sometimes, and see new stuff in the backup.

so i backed up monday morning.
tuesday i had to reinstall essential software.
when i copied back my home folder, all seemed okay.
but...a lot of mail is missing, some newer bookmarks.
spent over an hour getting isync & my palm to work together without losing ical stuff.

does silverkeeper suck? or perhaps i should ask...
is there a better, simple backup/sync app??

lost a lot of work from the last 6 days or so.



thanks!

I tried Silverkeeper for a while, but found the experience *ahem* less than satisfying. I've heard good things about
SuperDuper, but haven't used it myself.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Get RsyncX. It's free and works great. SuperDuper is awesome, too, but it ain't free.
