I am going to time machine now and if that does not work will try Carbon Copy or Super Duper which seem to have good reviews.

I am stuck between terrified if I do something to the Memeo and terrified that my computer will crash and NONE of my pics are saved. A small amount of information was saved during the Trial Period, but since it has been so long I have no clue what it may be! In addition, if I haven’t needed it in a year — do I still?

I cannot access much and what I can, is in code…
Had HD with my PC and there was no Memeo, which is why I purchased the same for Mac. I am not a happy camper and there are days I still want my PC! (cringing — don’t send hate posts)

Products should not claim to be Mac compatible when there are still so many kinks to be worked out — as evidenced by this thread.

Thanks for the rant. Will try the install and uninstall off the internet.

Anyway, now I’ve got lots of info backed up onto the WD HD having used the Memeo back in late ’08, and since that time the trial has ended.

I can still “see” the info on my HD which is great but my backup is “really old”. I wish I was hearing better things about Memeo. If so, I’d just buy a license & fire that back up – but it doesn’t sound from the reviews that is a good idea.

I’d like to start using Time Machine, maybe, but I don’t know if some of the stuff I backed up was subsequently REMOVED from my actual main HD on the Mac. I may have kicked some stuff off in an effort to clear off the HD – I don’t remember. I’d hate to find out the hard way.

Sorry for taking up your time.

I also bought ‘My Book’ external drive and it came with a trial version of Memeo, which I installed (regrettably). I did the proper un-install and now I’m rid of Memeo, BUT how do I regain access to my drive? It does not come up on my desktop any longer?

What do I do?

Elsewhere on my blog you’ll find a negative review of Retrospect 8 for Mac. Don’t buy that, either.

I’ve heard positive things about BRU. Maybe give that a try.

I wanted to back up the entire contents of my computer, including the applications, because I’ve been having such a hard time with my 3 year old iMac, and if it should go under, I wanted to have my stuff safe for my next computer.

The initial backup has been running all night, and it still says I have 150 hours remaining! My guess it is stopped running during the night, even though I changed the settings for the computer not to go to sleep.

I hope I haven’t made a mistake. I feel like I could have dragged and dropped the entire contents of my computer easier than this.

I just paid $29.95 for this Memeo.
Trial came with My Book (Western Digital external)
Wish I’d known to read here first!

I’m on a PowerBook G4 – and of course I bought my mac just before they went from 80 GB to 120 BG. I’m contemplating a new iMac, but thought I’d try this first.

Any suggestions. I’m really more interested in external storage to free up the Powerbook than backing up business files,etc. Although I would hate to lose my photos.

It worked, I reinstalled it and just used the uninstall program it had instead of throwing it in the trash like what macs usually do and it went away. thanks
