Introduction
SilverKeeper will Backup, Compare, Synchronize or Restore folders on
Apple Power Macintosh computers. It can copy or compare folders of
any writable device that is visible as a volume mounted on the
Macintosh Desktop. This includes hard drives, ZIP drives, DVD-RAM
drives; almost any internal or external Macintosh disk or flash device.
Note: This release is SilverKeeper v1.1.4, which is a minor update to
correct issues with Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.
The software consists of an application program which will copy,
compare, synchronize or restore files and directories from a source
directory to a destination directory. It will ease backups from one
hard disk to another. While optimized for hard drives, SilverKeeper
is also compatible with network drives, and removable drives such as
Zip and DVD-RAM discs. Compatible drives may be connected to the IDE,
SCSI, USB, or FireWire busses of Macintosh computers. The only
requirement is that the drives must have at least one mounted,
writable volume. It is not directly compatible with tape drives, or
CD-R/RW and DVD-R/RW drives. To use these latter devices requires
Apple's Disc Burning compatibility.
SilverKeeper is freeware provided by LaCie. LaCie is a worldwide
manufacturer of storage products for PC and Macintosh computers. For
more information about LaCie products please visit our website at
http://www.lacie.com, or visit your favorite computer reseller.
SilverKeeper is compatible with LaCie storage products, and also
similar products from other manufacturers. While LaCie has made every
effort to assure compatibility with all disk based IDE, SCSI, USB,
and FireWire storage products, LaCie can not guarantee compatibility
with the many third party storage products available in the market.
Thorough testing has been done with all Apple Macintosh and LaCie
products with compatible storage devices.
Unlike other backup and archiving programs, SilverKeeper uses the
Macintosh Finder to perform copy operations, so the backups are
always readable files that can be used as-is on another computer
without resorting to a special restore application. No special
application software is necessary to read Backup files.
As freeware, this means that you may use the SilverKeeper product
with any of your Macintosh computers and storage devices. The only
restriction is that you may not alter the program, develop
derivatives, or redistribute the product in any way without the
express written permission of LaCie, Ltd. Please refer to the
included license agreement.
