Existing users, 
It doesn't do the encrypting I set it to do. Under OSX.5.2. It doesn't do any encrypting at all as far as I could see. Nothing happened. Looks like it copies every file without altering even one bit in them. And everything completely in the clear. So no compressing – i.o.w. no space saving – and no security. That makes the 'backup' useless for secure offline, off premises storage under third party control/access (a buddy's RAID system).
So, bottomline: for me iBackup didn't do ANYTHING it said it would . . . !
iBackup wasted my time.
And since Time Machine also doesn't accomodate encrypted standalone backup files, Carbon Copy Cloner is still the champ here. Let's hear it for old faithfull!!!

I know that I am late to the party, but it is free, right? And, it still doesn't say it does encryption and again its free, right?Tuesday, October 27 2009 @ 05:18 PM PDT

HiNo one said iBackup will do encrypted backups. It supports compressed backups (cpio, cpgz and zip).
