Purchase
TimePreserver is available in two versions from the Mac App Store. These require, and are recommended for, Mac OS X 10.9 or higher.
TimePreserver — $9.99Release: 2.1.1 Release History |
 |
This version supports full incremental archiving of your Time Capsule, only those items which have changed since the last operation are copied. Furthermore an individual Mac is only prevented from backing up using Time Machine while its own backup is being archived.
These two features mean that TimePreserver is dramatically faster then TimePreserver Lite for second and subsequent operations, reducing days to hours. The impact on individual Macs is also greatly reduced due to the sorter periuod Time Machine is prevented from backing up.
TimePreserver Lite — FreeRelease: 2.1.1 Release History |
|
This version provides non-incremental archiving of your Time Capsule, every item on the Time Capsule is always copied. Time Machine is also prevented from backing up any attached Mac for the duration of the operation to ensure integrity.
An archive can take a long time, easily over a day for a full 2Tb Time Capsule.
