Backup and Browse

With this week’s picks, you can quickly backup files and enhance your Safari or Camino browsing experience.

mu Backup and BrowseiPodBackup

This application uses rsync to backup your home folder to your iPod. Options let you choose what you want to backup or leave behind.

mu Backup and BrowseEmailDisk

Send files right to your email through drag and drop. This configurable script makes it easy to backup to email.

mu Backup and BrowseSafariSource

Color code the source in Safari’s “view source”. Handy for code moochers. Requires Panther.

mu Backup and BrowseCamino ExtraPrefs

Enable ad blocking, add search engines to the toolbar search box and more with this preference-enabler.

Now I think you can get into all kinds of trouble in hidden prefs and other people’s code. Don’t forget to back it up either.
