Hi All,

Is this app purely for backup across networks to servers, or is it also 
perfectly fine for local backups of stipulated dirs?
For starters I'm just wanting to regularly backup my Tbird/FF profiles 
to a separate hdd on the same Mac..
Can it deal with folders that contain data that's live and may be 
updating at the time of a backup? (hope that makes sense)

I was going to start fiddling with all this but why reinvent the wheel?!?

or this may have worked better in practise than the above?

Any advice greatly appreciated  :-)

Seasons well wishes,
