Get Backup gracefully combines various backup capabilities, such as disk cloning, scheduling, compression tools, the ability to restore an archive on any computer without necessarily using Get Backup, and much more. In addition to creating backup archives, Get Backup offers tools that allow you to automatically synchronize files and folders in two different locations. This helps keep files up-to-date on both your desktop and laptop computers.

Why use Get Backup?
Produce compressed, encrypted backup archives of your data.
Create bootable backups for instantaneous restore.
Keep files in sync on two computers in one network.
Automate backup, cloning, and sync processes.

Diverse Backup Methods:
Full — all selected files are saved, and the resulting archive replaces the previously created one.
Versioned — all selected files are saved in a new backup archive, and the previous archives remain intact.
Incremental — each time a backup is built, only the files that were changed are saved in the new backup archive. (Pro only)


Get Backup vs. Apple Time Machine
You may wonder why you need an additional backup software if you already have Apple Time Machine on your Mac. Get Backup has multiple advantages when you need to control what to backup. It offers advanced compression and encryption methods and much more. Compare Get Backup with Time Machine.
