Marta,
And incidentally, I asked about this iDisk the other day, what it
actually automatically synchs, and when I have to give it a shove.
Nobody took my question up. There must be people doing iDisk, no?
Marta
Inside Preferences the MobileMe icon has four tabs, Account, Sync,
iDisk and Back To My Mac. Inside iDisk you have the choices as to how
you want your public folder utilized (what permissions you want to
give and if you want it password protected). The other choice is to
do the backup Automatically or manually, the default is automatic.
Then going to the "sync" tab here you get to check what it is you want
to backup "automatically" to MobileMe, your choice it's a cafeteria.
From then on the items checked will be backed to to the iDisk.
If you have a full functioning MobileMe account (not a demo or trial)
then you can download from your software folder the "Backup" app.
This will allow you to have yet other functions of backing up
important items automatically. The list includes:
1. Backing up your home folder (to a hard disk or CD, or DVD & not to
the iDisk) (Monthly)
2. Backing up your personal settings such as address book, contacts,
stickies notes, iCal calendars, Safari settings and keychains. Done
daily and it is to the iDisk (Daily)
3. iLife is the third choice, it is backed up to your hard drive, CD,
or DVD and not to the iDisk. (Weekly)
4. iTunes Library and all files in the iTunes folder to a CD or DVD
and not to the iDisk. (Monthly)
