Parachute: Basic Scheduled Backup Tool
Parachute is an interesting alternative to Time Machine for Mac users. It allows you to make customized backups to local and external drives, as well as FTP servers. With a clean and clear interface, Parachute is simple to use and offers the convenience of backing up to various sources.
To get started with Parachute, all you need to do is select the files you want to backup and choose a target location and time schedule. However, one downside is that Parachute does not save your preferences for each backup, so you have to enter the same details every time you want to perform a backup.
One area where Parachute could improve is providing a way to easily track the progress of scheduled backups. It would be helpful if the app could notify users when a backup is in progress. Despite this, the app is decent overall, with a straightforward setup process.
While Parachute may not be a comprehensive backup tool, it is better than nothing for basic backups. Mac users looking for a simple and customizable backup solution may find Parachute to be a useful option.
