DiskFit Direct provides just the basics of backup. The first time you run it, DiskFit Direct automatically creates a SmartSet¬, a series of disks containing your backed up files. Each subsequent time you run it, DiskFit Direct scans your hard disk and determines which files have changed since your last backup. Then DiskFit Direct replaces the old backup file with the new one from your hard drive. If you add or delete a file, so does DiskFit Direct.
What is really crucial in a backup
DiskFit Direct will restore your entire hard disk to its previous state with just a few clicks. Individual backup files are always available using the Macintosh Finder╤just pop in the SmartSet disk and drag the file to your hard disk. It╒s that easy.
What about cartridge drives?
You can use any Macintosh removable disks including floppies, opticals, SyQuests, Bernoulli cartridges, and Flopticals.
Is DiskFit Direct right for you?
If you want the easiest, fastest, and most affordable backup to removable disks, DiskFit Direct is for you. If you want to back up to a file server or require more features and options, get DiskFit Pro¬.
