If you are on a Mac, need a simple software to automate your backups and don’t have much money to spare, you definitely need to take a look at iBackup. Created by Martin Jahn, iBackup is a simple-to-use back up tool that allows for easy restoration as well. Not only does it back up your files, it can also save system preferences and settings from applications like iCal, iSync, Keychains, etc. Very highly recommended for those who need a simple backup tool that can automate backups with minimum fuss.
If you are using it in a commercial environment, you need to pay for it though. But that’s not really a lot to ask for, is it?

Like many nerds, I really cannot do without Quicksilver on my Macs. For those not familiar with Quicksilver, it is (at the very basic level) a keyboard application launcher (though it’s capable of many more things). There are a number of Quicksilver pretenders for the Windows and I have tried a number of them. My favourite, though, has always been Find and Run Robot. I have been using it for the last three years and it has never let me down — it is lightning fast, doesn’t slow your computer down and stays out of the way.
Having said that, Quicksilver is a very powerful application, and honestly, Find and Run Robot is not really at that level yet. But it works great as an application launcher and can only get better.
