SafetyNet is a powerful backup and archiving application for computers running the NeXTSTEP operating system. SafetyNet provides sophisticated backup and restore capabilities with point and click simplicity.

SafetyNet saves files into archives, maintaining an on-line catalog of each archive's contents that allows you to browse it as easily as you would your hard disk. For each file in the archive the catalog contains its name as well as information about its status (such as its last modification date, owner, etc) and, more importantly, the file's location in the archive. SafetyNet can retrieve a file in seconds rather than hours by moving to its precise location in the archive. This high-speed seeking capability is supported by DAT, on-line, and some 8mm devices.

SafetyNet gives you complete control over file selection allowing any combination of files and directories to be selected for backup. You can restrict backups to include only those files modified later than some date and time, or since a selected profile was last executed, providing for incremental backups. Commonly used backup selections may be saved as SafetyNet backup Profiles which may be launched from the Workspace Manager or scheduled for later, unattended, execution.

SafetyNet is available in both professional and personal versions. With SafetyNet-Professional you can backup any mounted UNIX file system (local or NFS). SafetyNet-Personal will backup any locally mounted UNIX file systems.
