Here is another app that could save your Mac in case of unexpected situations without the need to rush to apple shop...

Clone, synchronize, backup. Schedule and forget it. Try it 'til you trust it.

The key to a successful backup plan is to actually do the backups regularly. When left to a human, the task often gets tacked on to the end of a very long list of other things to do. When you eventually have a catastrophe, the data is simply gone. You know that feeling — you just lost six years of family photos. Your kids being born, their first birthdays, their first everything. The answer to this is consistent and regular backups, placed on a schedule and handled automatically by your computer.
Carbon Copy Cloner offers fast, incremental backups that copy only items that differ from the last backup, as well as checksum analysis of your backed up files, archiving and archive management, and backup task scheduling. With CCC, you can back up to a locally-attached hard drive, to a network volume, or to another Macintosh across your network or across the Internet.

"Are you expecting some sticker shock now that you've seen that long list of features? Not with CCC! Our philosophy is that you should try the full-featured product until you trust it, then consider a donation to support the development of Carbon Copy Cloner. That's right — try ALL of these features, for FREE, let the software establish your trust, THEN donate. Isn't that the way it should be for such an important task? We think so too."

The Best Way To Keep Your Mac Cache Clean

By Alexis Kayhill | Mac360's Archives | Home » Tips and Tricks »

It’s time for obsessive compulsive Mac users to unite, grab the Windex and clean up our favorite computer.
Or, use a good cache cleaner to keep the insides of your Mac running well. After all, a clean Mac is fast Mac, right? Mostly. Still, the Mac is loaded with files and settings which need to be cleaned—dozens of them.
A search for cleaning utilities for Macs will turn up plenty which claim to clean this, remove that, and handle many of the household chores that OS X may take care of while you’re asleep, though your Mac must be turned on to accomplish the automatic cache cleaning tasks.

MacCleanse is one of the more comprehensive utilities available for Mac users to clean logs and cache files.
Unbeknownst to most Mac users, our Macs collect and store information for us; sometimes useful, often not, but collected nonetheless.

For example, your Mac remembers your most recent applications, documents, folders, servers, and URLs.
There’s font caches, temporary files, the trash, user cache files, the clipboard, and more.
Some applications, such as Camino, Firefox, Safari and others collect cookies, download information, page history information, site icons, even passwords, and data field information.
If you use different chat utilities, they leave little trails of icons, conversation history, contact details, and more in various and sundry caches scattered on your Mac.

What happens to all that information? Most of it just sits there, growing, taking up space, though some files can impede your Mac’s performance over time.
MacCleanse gets rid of many of the logs, caches, preferences, that clutter up your Mac’s hard disk. Not only are your Mac’s system files cleansed, many applications leave their own clutter files, which also need to be removed.

Each Mac system is capable of creating logs and caches all over the place—system logs, software update logs, web server access logs, archived logs, Mail logs, installation logs, user logs, crash reporter logs, system caches, and many, many more.

MacCleanse lets you remove them all, or a group of them, or one at a time. In the unlikely event that your Mac’s hard drive is getting full, you can reclaim hundreds of megs of storage space.
Included is the ability to find clutter files left behind by a laundry list of Mac utilities and applications, ranging from AIM, iChat, Firefox, Safari, Skype, and many more.
What’s the advantage of this kind of cleaning? We live in an age when personal privacy is a prime issue for many Mac users, and identity theft is more common. Your Mac stores plenty of personal information in logs, caches, preferences.

Sell your Mac or let a friend, family member, or neighbor use it for awhile, and all that information is available to someone else.

MacCleanse makes it clean, keeps it clean because you get to choose what you want cleaned and when.
MacCleanse may not be the least expensive of such cache cleaning utilities, though it may be the most thorough. Even better is the complete list of everything MacCleanse does, each item that gets cleansed is recorded for your review.

Security is important, so just deleting old files, preferences, caches, and logs is not enough. MacCleanse also securely deletes information, making it nearly impossible to recover, even for experienced hackers.
If peace of mind is important, MacCleanse is a good place to get started. It’s not as though there’s no competition for Mac maintenance utilities.

Overview

Product Description

MacCleanse is a powerful application geared towards purifying your system and reclaiming hard disk space. In only seconds, it can perform over fifty tasks which could take hours to perform manually. Safely uninstall applications, slim Universal Binaries, wipe unused languages, erase caches, empty logs, clear cookies, forget web histories, locate unused and old files, and more. MacCleanse won't miss a thing and could reclaim hundreds of megabytes, if not gigabytes, of storage.

Going above and beyond the call of duty, MacCleanse provides detailed information on each item it cleanses, and can even wipe files with US Department of Defense level security. After a scan is complete, never worry about deleting something automatically by mistake. MacCleanse provides a detailed list of all items it intends to clear before the operation completes, and allows you to uncheck any to leave untouched. Also run it automatically on a weekly schedule with a preset list of items to erase so you won't even have to think about it.

It is an ideal solution when shopping for gifts, cleansing the system after someone else has used it, when preparing to sell your computer, or just for reclaiming wasted disk space. But, most importantly, ensure your personal information is out of reach.

MacCleanse also contains enhanced features for specific applications like Acquisition, Adium, AIM, aMSN, Azureus, Bit Torrent, Colloquy, FireFox 2 & 3, iCab, iChat, ICQ, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, MPlayer, MSN Messenger, Netscape, OmniWeb, Opera, Preview, QuickTime, Safari, Skype, Transmission, Unison, Xtorrent, and Yahoo Messenger.
