Bonkey

Open Source by Bonkey | Link to website

Despite a name that conjures up comedic visions, Bonkey the Backup Monkey is a serious backup program with tremendous potential. Not that it isnt good now; The program is easy to use, puts all the relevant options at your fingertips and backs up to multiple locations--including ftp or sftp locations, across the network, local folders and even SQL databases and Amazons S3 online backup service. Files are either zipped into an archive or copied as is so you can browse them using Windows Explorer. More info »

I really like Bonkey. It's free, it's easy, it's smart. But, it is limited in the total number of files it can monitor and transfer in a given sync session. If I remember correctly, it brings up a Java error when attempting to read or transfer too much data.

Never mind jaback, its a road kill. No real FTP regardless of what they say. Their other programs do have FTP clients, but not JaBack.

Serious issues with FTP backup, it will do a full backup every time, even with "back up modified files" selected.

JaBack is very similar to Bonkey...

Open source, free multiplatform. Supports FTP backups runs in the background and is very flexible. Allows for multiple targets and intelligent syncing. I love it, this is the best thing i could find in about 10 hours of research. the next thing to it would be SyncBackPro, but thats not available on mac and isn't free. This is the filezilla of backup.
