Summary
fwbackups is a versatile backup that will meet the needs of a user with simple backup needs. In our opinion, it falls short of both Déjà Dup and Back in Time by a long chalk.
fwbackups takes care of the organization of backups, including the removal of expired ones so you don’t have to worry about organizing the backups.
fwbackups is in maintenance mode only, so no new features are currently being added. This is because the developer doesn’t have time to continue working on the project.
Backup software should provide multiple options for restoring your data, including restoring to its original location or a different location under your control. fwbackup lets you restore backups.
