BackupTrust — Scheduled, incremental folder backup for macOS. Multi-destination, smart filters, NAS reconnect recovery, destination locking, and pre/post scripts.
BackupTrust is a macOS menu bar app for scheduled, incremental folder backup.
Choose a source folder, add one or more destinations, and set an hourly, daily, or weekly schedule. BackupTrust runs quietly in the background and copies only files that are new or changed, helping protect active projects without repeating a full backup every time.
BackupTrust is built for real working folders and supports locally mounted storage including internal drives, external SSDs, RAID volumes, network shares, NAS destinations, and other folders macOS can access.
Features include:
Incremental backup for new and changed files
Multi-destination backup to multiple locations at the same time
Menu bar access with quick status, progress, and manual run controls
Busy windows to defer backups during working hours
File filters for include-only rules, excluded extensions, hidden files, and file size limits
Directory exclusion presets plus custom exclusion rules
Conflict handling with overwrite, skip, or version-and-keep behavior
Mirror mode to remove destination files that no longer exist in the source
Retention controls for stored previous versions
Optional post-copy verification for extra confidence
Preflight space warnings before a run
Notifications, logs, and diagnostics to help monitor backup health
Optional overflow destination for oversized or long-filename files
BackupTrust is designed for users who want dependable background backups for project folders, media libraries, and other data that changes over time.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
1. Exclusion Improvements:
- .DS_Store exclusion fixed to use case-insensitive comparison
- Thumbs.db added to default excluded file names
2. Destination Reconnect Wait
- NAS reconnect recovery. If the share comes back, copying resumes automatically
- Stale mount point detection
- Session log failure line limits
- Automatic log retention — session logs older than 30 days pruned on launch
3. Swift 6 Fixes
- Thread.sleep replaced with Task.sleep in async contexts
- Build fix for async call inside autoreleasepool
4. Destination Locking
- Concurrent write prevention — two plans sharing a destination now queue automatically instead of writing simultaneously
- Two lock levels: exact destination path and mounted volume root
- Queued state visible in UI with "Queued behind Plan Name" indicator and Cancel Queue button
- In-app help updated for destination locking and overflow routing
5. UI Time Fixes
- Preferred time now uses 24-hour hour:minute fields instead of hour-only stepper
