“Life saver — 5 stars
The fact that iMovie doesnt even have a "Save" command, makes me queasy, so "Backups for iMovie” comes to the rescue with its "GO" button, letting me save my edits whenever the urge strikes me, as well as letting me backup at scheduled intervals. Now when I edit with iMovie, I feel like Im wearing a Kevlar life preserver in an ocean full of digital debris and corruption, ready to sink me and all my hard work.” – miggsb

What can Backups for iMovie do?

• Reflecting the fast pace of video editing, Backups for iMovie creates incremental snapshots as often as every 2 minutes. The one hour backup interval of Time Machine can seem like an eternity if you lose your work.

• Making labeled snapshots during your editing lets you restore to key steps in your process—finished a rough cut, finished adding titles, ready to export. A description added to a snapshot, describing why you made it, is very handy!

• Lets you restore everything from a given snapshot or selected libraries, events or projects.

• Ignores iMovie’s sometimes very large work files. (These are automatically recreated.)

• Extensive logging. You can delete old snapshots.

• “Safe” snapshots. Only completed snapshots are retained. Available disk space is checked before the backup begins.

• “Safe” restores. If to a local drive, replaced files are placed in the Trash—they are never deleted.

• Continually adding new features.
