Incremental backups
The first run copies eligible files. Later runs copy only additions and changes.
Coming to macOS
More than
a sync.
A real backup.
Scheduled incremental backup from your Mac user folder to iCloud Drive, with a separate identity for every computer and recoverable handling of deleted files.
One space per Mac
Each computer gets a stable folder in iCloud Drive, preventing Macs on one account from overwriting each other.
Recover deleted files
Missing source files move into dated Deleted Items batches instead of disappearing immediately.
Built-in safety checks
Preflight checks estimate available capacity and avoid recursively backing up iCloud Drive into itself.
Menu-bar control
See status, run Back Up Now, open settings, and review recent progress without keeping a window open.
Useful history
A backup history and error console make completed work and problems easier to understand.
Designed for resilience
Back up changes without turning iCloud into a second sync engine.
- Choose accessSelect your user folder and iCloud Drive destination using standard macOS controls.
- Run on your scheduleKeep the menu-bar app running or enable launch at login for scheduled backup checks.
- Keep independent copiesEach Mac writes only inside its own stable backup namespace.
- Review what happenedCheck status, history, retained deletions, and recent errors from the app.
Backup, not bidirectional sync
Your originals stay on your Mac. Your backup stays organized in iCloud Drive.
More than a Sync is designed as a one-way backup mirror. It protects destination copies when source items disappear and automatically avoids folders already managed by certain iCloud services.
