photon,
I will check out those two you mentioned and see what they look like.
I'm surprised by two folks asking about backup. There are a LOT of backup solutions out there. I wouldn't think there would be a need for more.
As for Mac, sorry, I can only design for Windows.
If I do end up doing a backup application, the one thing it would not do is disaster recovery (it's not easy to do a complete system image - if it was there would be more apps out there that did it). I could however do an app that would backup, store the backup in ZIP compatible archives with strong AES encryption if folks wanted it, backup to numerous devices (network drives, removable drives, etc. - although CD/DVD writing is something I may or may not be able to do - not quite sure it's needed these days with the price of external/removable drives), allow for timed/scheduled backups and could allow for keeping of numerous copies of files for archiving/retrieval purposes. One thing that I might be able to add is a "watched" folder that allows backup of the files within that folder (and subfolders if wanted) anytime a file is changed, added, moved, deleted, etc.
Any other thoughts/needs?
Any other application ideas guys?
