14 DAY TRIAL // Memeo, the guys behind LifeAgent, have released version 2.2 of their automated backup utility software, introducing support for Flickr and .Mac iDisks. Using LifeAgent, your data is safer than ever as it is backed up in various locations, automatically. A free version of Memeo's utility software (version 2.2 Build 89) is available right HERE. The full version of LifeAgent 2.2 costs 30 bucks.
LifeAgent is a powerful diligent assistant that keeps track and safeguards all documents you've worked on - even when your backup destination is not connected. When you reconnect to your backup destination, Memeo LifeAgent "automatically and dutifully updates these changes," according to the developer.
Using LifeAgent, you can automatically back up data to an external hard drive, removable media, a network folder, the Internet, and most recently Flicker and iDisk. As mentioned above, a free version of the automated software backup utility is available. However, you'll only be able to run it for 30 days, while files greater than 4GB will not be backed up to FAT32 and UFS volumes, files greater than 2GB will not be backed up to HFS volumes. Also, cache and hidden files will not be backed up unless you make the purchase.
Note that unsafe removal of external Volumes (meaning pulling the cable without safe eject) can lead to partial backups. Should this happen, LifeAgent does not have the ability to automatically remount network drives after they are disconnected. Users will need to use the Finder to reconnect network drives to their Mac.
Requirements call for Intel or PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 processor, 256MB of RAM, 100MB disk free space. More information on LifeAgent 2.2 can be found here. If you want to buy Memeo's backup utility, hit their web site. Also check out AutoBackup, AutoSync and iDisk from the same software maker.
