Chronosync Version 4 is released

January 18, 2009 by debbie T | Mac Software

Yay, Chronosync, my favorite backup/syncing app has released version 4! And the new version now includes bootable backups! whoo-hoo!

I had previously been using Super Duper to make a bootable backup; now I can use Chronosync. Awesome!

For those that are new to Chronosync, it’s a wonderful backup app for Mac OS X. I use it to back up my home folder several times a day. It’s simple to use, and very powerful. It’s for sure, a program I can’t live without on my Mac!

It’s $40 for new users. Version 4 is a free upgrade to prior registered users!

    I use both Chronosync and Super Duper. I use Super Duper to make a regular bootable backup & Chronosynch to sync my home folder of an iMac & MacBook.

    From your review above I am clearly missing something re Chronosync – Is it possible to expand a bit how this is used as oppose to Super Duper? Thanks.

  2. Hey Mike,

    thanks for commenting!

    The new version of Chronosync (version 4) has a new feature that will create a bootable backup, like Super Duper! yay!

    But I might be changing my mind about using it in place of SD. I like how Super Duper doesn’t include the temp files, which has kept my backup smaller.

    Now I haven’t tested Chronosync’s boot feature very thoroughly, and I think you can set it up so it will ignore files or folders, but for now, I will keep using both.
