Prosoft Data Backup 3

In addition to its new Jax iPod utility, Prosoft Engineering announced Data Backup 3, an update to its simple, automated backup solution. The software utility allows users to backup, restore and synchronize data with minimal effort. Version 3 features a new user interface, the ability to backup to multiple CDs and DVDs (automatically spanning on multiple disks), performance improvements using a Fast Start feature that skips scanning, and built-in backup sets to quickly backup iTunes, iPhoto, system and other important data. In addition, the software will automatically wake from sleep to backup and automatically power off after the backup completes. It also now offers the ability to "go back in time" to view files and directories, as they were when the backups happened. Data Backup 3 will be available in early February for $60 (upgrade pricing not available).
