The Review:
Personal Backup X4 is a great program for backing up your computer. It has a very nice clean, simple and intuitive interface. The best method of backup using Personal Backup X4 is the clone script. This makes an exact clone of your startup volume and this is best done to an external hard drive.
To clone your start up volume all you need to do is launch Personal Backup X4 from the little icon that is placed up in the menu bar by the clock with which you may also check for updates. Once Personal Backup X4 is open simply click the clone icon and then drag your Macintosh HD icon to the source side and the the icon for your external drive to the destination side and push the play button.
The time it takes depends solely on the type of drive USB or Firewire and the amount of data that you are backing up. It takes me approximately 2.5 hours to backup about 45GB of data. Once the script has finished you have an exact copy of your Macintosh HD on your external hard drive which is bootable.
As far as using the restore function it does a good job if you say backup one day and the next you delete some files you didn’t mean to then it restores the files back in no time. However if you are doing a fresh install of OS X then you will simply want to use the migration assistant when the installation asks if you want to.
Personal Backup X4 is a great backup program and does a wonderful job of backing up your important data. For more information and to purchase Personal Backup X4 for a reasonable price of $69.95 or in the Internet Security Barrier X4 Platinum Edition for $149.95 please visit the link below.
