SmartBackup overview
SmartBackup is an alternative lightweight backup application for OS X.
- Backup multiple source items to a destination folder on an external harddrive, flashdrive or network share, or create a bootable clone of your system.
- SmartBackup only copies what has changed after the initial run and is very fast in updating your backup or system clone.
- Archive deleted or changed files in an archive folder during the backup and easily browse available versions of a file and restore them with one click.
- Use Spotlight Saved Searches to define what you want to backup or what you want to exclude.
- Automate your backup using iCal, Automator or launch it in commandline mode and include it in launchd items or scripts.
Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Please consider making a donation to help support development.

It's a very simple backup app and it suitable for me. There is something I noticed, I set up a scheduled backup for every Monday at a certain time but the backup is being executed on Sundays. Has anyone had this issue?

I have recently installed SmartBackup on my iMac and it works when I click the Start button, but the schedule will not run. Is there something I need to do in order for the daily backups to run?

Question: I want both a local backup and a cloud backup on my MacBook Pro. I have already installed JustCloud, and it's working fine for the cloud backup. Can I install SmartBackup as well, for the local backup? Will these two programs interfere with each other?

This is a very nice little app. I have been looking for a backup software application for what seems like forever, and I think this is it. It has all of the basic functionality that you want with none of the complexity. This program is well designed and extremely intuitive and it's free. Would definitely recommend.
P.S. I would be more than happy to make a one-time donation to the developer, just to keep the software up-to-date.
