pardon my dumb, 'mr. obvious' question...but why in the hell would someone who owns a mac *buy* backup software???
unix 101, take your seat kids...mac >= unix. unix's have cron. unix's have rsync. unix's have shell (probably a form of bash).
it would take 5 minutes to either configure rsync to run daily, weekly or montly. and/or take 15 and write a shell script that runs on cron to back stuff up.
behold, i give you power of unix. don't pay for backup software...and certainly don't use some crappy shareware app.
you can write a script or configure rsync to backup anything...a specific file, directory or the entire partition.
