Mobile Me and Backups

23 Jul 2008

This is just a quick rant on how Mobile me is definitely not something that most users who want schedule backups, that actually work, to be using. Why, well I have SuperDuper! all set to backup my Documents, Photos, and Amazon purchased music every two hours, since I know it won’t change that often.

While this SHOULD work, it is still syncing it’s initial attempt to copy those items. Now, granted, there are 8200 items, and it does total to just over 4GB, but still, the initial sync should have been completed by now. I did this about 24 hours ago, and it’s still not done, this is just too fucking ridiculous for me.

I’ll probably post over at macgasm a more extensive rant/review of Mobile me, but that will be forthcoming. I want to see how long this initial backup and several syncs end up working in the long run. So, if you’re looking for an affordable backup solution you might want to look at Amazon’s S3, if available. It’s roughly the same cost and it actually works with JungleDisk for automated backups.
