Joe Kissell has just completed a significant update to his two Take Control titles, Take Control of Easy Backups in Leopard and Take Control of Mac OS X Backups, and made a extra-special effort to tell us about them. Joe talks about how he discovered a hole in his backup strategy, how he’s decided to handle his tracking of the plethora of Mac backup programs out there, an dhow you can tap into that work for free. Joe also covers some of the ways you can evaluate your backup program selection and why the subject of backups is becoming more complex with each new option.
