Time Machine is the best Mac backup software that one can get. It requires nothing but a separate storage device to save your hourly, weekly as well as monthly backups. But keep in mind- it will only save changes after your last backup. So your backups must be done within short intervals.

Not only does it take less time but also does not consume much space on your device’s storage since it is saving changes that you’ve made after your last backup. Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean that all new changes will wipe out the older ones. Time Machine saves numerous versions of every file making it easy for you to locate your files in case you have changed your mind, making it the best Mac backup software.

What are the things you’d need for the Mac backup software?

To begin with, get updated to the latest version of Mac OS. However, it can also be done if your Mac is working with Mac OS X Leopard. You can use Time Machine to backup to your server on your network.

You will require a large external storage, a USB, Firewire or any other hard drive which your Mac can connect to through a WiFi.
