TRI-EDRE introduces Tri-BACKUP 6

Tri-BACKUP

Tri-BACKUP is a powerful and easy backup utility for Mac OS X, offering two different modes: "Immediate Actions" (to perform easy and immediate backups, synchronizations, and restorations, and verify and choose what will be modified) and "Programmed actions" (to schedule automatic backups and synchronizations).

Tri-BACKUP provides all necessary tools to efficiently manage your backup. For more information, click here.

To download Tri-BACKUP, goto the Download page. A free demo version, giving you access to all features, but time limited, is also available.

What is new in Tri-BACKUP 6?

Version 6 is a brand new version of Tri-BACKUP for Mac OS X 10.6 or more.

The interface has been simplified for easier and quicker access to all functions. All functions have been optimized for faster backups. FTP backups have been improved.

License: A single user license (serial number for one user) can be used on two machines. There are also 5 and 10-users licenses, and more if necessary.

General:
- Completely redesigned interface.

Programmed Actions:
- Simplified creation of the programmed actions.
- New Action: Copy bootable disk.
- Ability to check immediately, during its creation, what will be done.
- Ability to estimate the size of backed up data (simulation of the execution of the action, with calculation of the space to be occupied and eventually released by an update).
- Display the list of programmed actions that are created with filtering and sorting options.

Scheduling programmed actions:
- Added the notion of context: a context can be assigned to each action and by modifying the execution context depending on where one is - for example with a laptop -, the user can have some actions to be launched only when at the office or at home (available contexte: Office, Home and Mobile, and anywhere).

Immediate Actions:
- New display options.
- Filters and settings identical to those of programmed actions.
- Immediate action can be set with all the settings of a programmed action.
- Analyze features to get an idea of what the action will do (without having to launch a real execution).
- Preview file contents (QuickLook).

Restoration:
- Direct restoration of data backed up by a specific programmed action.
- Search when and where was made the last backup of a particular folder, and restore from this backup.

- Restore from an Evolutive Backup.
- Restore from Time Machine backups (with all the filtering options available to restore only the desired items).
- Restoration in immediate mode to verify and see exactly what needs to be restored.

Tools:
- Display of the general state of the application and its process.
- Tool disk state, history of executions and daily reports.
