I installed Backup and iDisk Utility a few days ago, but i cannot connect to those services...

i can connect to my idisk and put files in my public folder, but when I launch Backup I get this error:

<img src="http://homepage.mac.com/stijn/.Public/backup_02.png" alt=" - " />

I have a G4 Cube running OS X 10.1.5 with a cable connection (Telenet Belgium)

They work with 10.1, but not with the old iTools, free .Mac "trial" membership. You've got to pony up your $50.00 for them to work.

I had paid for expanded iDisk space a month before the.mac announcement, and they were gentlemanly enough to give me a year of .mac rather than run with the cash, so it works fo me. Haven't actually used Backup, though, as I've already got a Firewire routine in place.

However, Backup overwrites your files create and modify dates with the backup date, thus making it useless, IMO.
