I think that Yummy could probably make a very successful backup program, separate from but perhaps sharing code from Yummy FTP, and I think the following should be included:
- Scheduling (more in the background than Apple Backup — no user intervention required)
- Automatic compression and uploading of the compressed file (like .gz)
- Incremental backup
- Mac-centric backup sets: Camino/Safari/Etc bookmarks, account settings, preference panes, folders, specific files, settings/preferences
- Simple UI (pre-defined sets common to many users & ability to add custom sets)
- Extensibility (ability to add backup sets for specific apps)
- Freeware restore app, downloadable from Yummysoftware.com
- CD burning option
