TidBITS and Take Control announced the immediate availability of Take Control of Easy Backups in Leopard on Friday. The new Take Control ebook by Joe Kissell explains how to set up and manage a backup system in Mac OS X 10.5 as well as how to restore files.
The 80 page ebook explains data archiving, how to create a bootable backup, offsite backups, how to effectively use Time Machine, alternatives to Time Machine, and more.
Take Control of Easy Backups in Leopard is available as a Web-based preview for US$10. Readers can ask questions and post comments in the preview text, and will receive the completed version of the book in PDF format for free when it is available.
