Product Description:
iPodBackup is a shell-script-turned-application (via Platypus) that backs up your home folder to your iPod using the open source backup utility called rsync. You can back up to a plain folder, to an encrypted disk image, or a regular disk image.
You can also customize a list of items to be excluded. By default, the Music folder, as well as certain cache folders are skipped, in order to prevent duplicating your music and because caches are a kind of stupid thing to backup.
Please see the product info page for usage instructions.
A note for first-time users: The first backup takes quite a while, especially if you use an encrypted disk image! If you think there's something wrong, open the log and see if progress is being made.
What's new in this version:
- Now gives option to revert to the old rsync in the event of failure due to bugs in Tiger's rsync
- Revamped preference handling system
- Fixed bug in "manual_os_version" setting
- Fixed mixed up buttons in compaction setting dialog

This means that you cannot put big user folders into a disk image. You can always put them on your iPod as a folder.
If you have a lot of stuff in your user folder and want to use a disk image (for the encryption or something), you might want to drop some or all of your Movies folder, because these tend to grow really big really fast and are often easiest to replace per MB. Or you can put them on a seperate CD/DVD for archiving.
