Apple today released Backup 3.0.1 which addresses file restoration and other issues and is highly recommended for all users of Backup 3.0. Significant areas addressed are:
• Restoring files to alternate location
• Accuracy of iDisk progress bar when uploading files

Sweet… works great. Finally backs up to an alternate location
What a shitty, inflexible application. I think this takes the cake in “I’m a moron so hold my hand” interfaces.

Less expensive, but definitely not cheaper.
You get what you pay for.
The new Backup has worked fine for me, except that it doesn’t appear to be able to restore anything if lost. I inadvertently deleted some smart playlists for my nano from iTunes and tried to restore from Backup. It went through the process, but no restoration of the playlists… what’s this app for again?
In addition, the incremental backups (nice idea, poorly implemented) fill up your available backup space until you are forced to go in and manually do a new master backup and erase the old. Can’t this be automated somehow? I suppose I could go the automator route, but if the app were better, I wouldn’t have to.
Apple needs to fiddle with this a little more…

Do they have support for compressing the backup files yet?
1:1 is a waste of space.
