Description

TimePreserver is designed to do one complex task easily: making archives of your Time Machine backups stored on a Time Capsule. In keeping with Time Machine there is no complicated setup, no myriad of options. It just works.

Keeping data safe is an ever more important job for home, student and SOHO users as more precious data – from photos to term reports – is stored on computer. TimePreserver complements Time Machine/Time Capsule by creating an archive of the contents of a Time Capsule on a local hard disk. This hard disk can then be moved “offsite” to provide even greater protection.

Once the initial archive is created subsequent archives are incremental saving a great deal of time. The Time Capsule remains usable during the archive, only individual Macs are blocked from making Time Machine updates while their own backup is archived. In this way TimePreserver insures the integrity of the archived Time Machine backups from the Time Capsule, unlike generic backup applications.

TimePreserver archives can be used directly by the Mac OS Installer to restore a Mac should a disaster strike. They can also be used to restore individual files using Time Machine, or to restore a complete Time Capsule.

TimePreserver is fully compatible with archives produced by TimePreserver Lite.

Good idea but crashes before it completes a back up

I like the idea of this app but find that it takes so very long and it crashes before it ever finishes a back up. I’d like to use it but simply can’t. I use TimeCapsule’s “archive disk” function instead.

Sorry to have paid for this app prior to reading the other report

I thought this app would be a great one to have in order to preserve data. Sadly, I am still unable to get the program to function as promised. I am awaiting a response from the designer since Apple seems to be unreachable for this issue.

Crash - No Operation

App doesn’t work at all, crashes - Running macOS 10.12 and timemachine file stored on Seagate DAS. When you select Time Machine Server and your prompted for password, when password entered app crashed totally

Thank you support dept for responding, this problem with your software has been going on for many updates and your delay in implimenting fixes shows a pattern that your not using your own product or paying much attention to it or its comaptibility to updates. Since I’ve not heard from you in a timely manner I’ve moved on from your product or any of your products for that matter. Customer service is that foundation to any business or product, and doing only what is convenitent for you/company does not inspire us to continue with you. Thank you and good luck.

Developer Response ,

Our apologies for your bad experience. We discovered an obscure interaction between v1.7.2 released in Jan and recent systems. Of course being obscure is little comfort when it bites you :-(. We have addressed this in v1.7.3. If this doesn't fix your issue please email support at dalamser.com and we will work to resolve your issue. (And thank you to Apple for now enabling us to help customers through review responses.)
