Little crown spinning in the menubar forever - no support at all

• ★☆☆☆☆   pampelune 9 years ago ( v 1.5 )

There a little crown in the menubar related to the helper of the app. Sometimes, it gets blocked, spinning forever. The only way to stop it is to reboot. I’ve sent several messages to the developer, never any answer… I think when you pay for a software, at least you’re supposed to have answers to your requests. I’ll change my notation, if I get a reply.

So hab ich mir das vorgestellt!

Ich verwendete zuvor ein anderes, kostenloses, Programm um den Intervall der Time Machine Sicherung zu beeinflussen. Es entsprach jedoch nicht mehr meinen Erwartungen und beim Suchen im App Store stieß ich dann auf dieses Programm. Was es, in meinen Augen, von dem anderen Programm unterscheidet, ist der Informationsgehalt während und nach der Sicherung, nachdem man das zusätzliche Script installiert hat, was sehr einfach zu bewerkstelligen ist. Der Support ist vorbildlich zu nennen. Ich bin mit dem Programm sehr zufrieden, die Intervall-Varianten sind zahlreich und decken bei Weitem meine Bedürfnisse.

Genau das, was ich gesucht habe

• ★★★★★   Prof. Dr. Bingo 10 years ago ( v 1.5 )

Da mich die normale Time Machine nervt, weil sie häufig genau dann startet, wenn ich es nicht gebrauchen kann und meinen Mac schrecklich langsam macht, brauche ich diese App. Außerdem gibt es Phasen (z.B. bei aufwendiger Bildbearbeitung oder bei mühsamen Recherchen im Internet), in denen mir die Standardintervalle der Time Machine (1 Stunde) viel zu lang sind. ich kann auf dieses Programm schnell und unkomplziert zugreifen und “mal eben” zuverlässig den Schedule der Time Machine anpassen. Einfach und gut...Kaufempfehlung!

Genau wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe.

• ★★★★★   Reiner M. 9 years ago ( v 1.5 )

Endlich kann ich die Backups nach meinen Bedürfnissen anfertigen. Und Das beste, installieren, konfigurieren und es funktioniert. Klasse.

Die App tut was sie soll

• ★★★★☆   TKF30 9 years ago ( v 1.5 )

Einfach zu bedienende App, keine verwirrenden Gimmicks. Die regelmäßigen Backups laufen jetzt außerhalb der Nutzungszeiten der Macs.
