   You forgot a great Personal Backup X4 from Intego. It beats 90% of the ones you listed. X5 version is coming at Macworld.

   In your podcast “Backmatic Automatic Backup” you fail to mention that SuperDuper is NOT currently Leopard compatible and will not make a bootable backup of Leopard. Shirt-Pocket.com is working on a fix.

   Great podcast. As I was listening I realized that ALL of my pictures (yes, pictures of the space shuttle, and mount rushmore) were all on one spindle… on a 3 year old hard drive. I got very scared and by the end they were being backed up to jungledisk. Thanks!

   I TAKE BACK the recommendation for Intego’s new X5. ALL their new X5 programs have regressed to subpar programs because of an awful graphics design of their programs. Who the hell redesigned these? They totally wrecked the programs!! They regressed to bad looking freeware.

   Too bad you recorded this show BEFORE the release of Time Capsule, it looks very cool, but i wonder how apple defines “Server Grade” hard drive, because it can’t be SCSI, that would make it super expensive, maybe its the “Server Class” hard drives with 5 year guarentee you mentioned.

   Stay away from JungleDisk and s3 as a backup. Its too slow. I backed up my iPhoto Library to Jungledisk/S3. It took a week to backup my 10 gig iPhoto library. Then my drive failed so I tried to recover data from JD/S3. It was so slow that I never could even list the directories where the files where. It might work f you make you iPhoto library or other data into one bug zip or tar file first but as of now I have backed up data I can’t recover - even on comcast cable internet it is too slow

    They did mention that Super Duper was not compatible yet. Great show. I would love to see the looks I would get if I invited people over for a back up party.

    I already yelled at John for an omission in this episode many admins use all the time for imaging a mac volume that comes free with every Mac: Disk Utility.
    Cheers!
