Backups for iMovie is like Time Machine® for iMovie®! It performs timed and manual snapshots of your iMovie Libraries.

What can Backups for iMovie Do?

• Reflecting the fast pace of video editing, Backups for iMovie creates incremental snapshots as often as every 2 minutes. The one hour backup interval of Time Machine can seem like an eternity if you loose your work.
• Making labeled snapshots during your editing lets you restore to key steps in your process—finished a rough cut, finished adding titles, ready to export. A description added to a snapshot, describing why you made it is very handy!
• Lets you restore everything from a given snapshot or selected libraries, events or projects.
• Ignores iMovie’s sometimes very large work files. These are automatically recreated.
• Extensive logging. You can delete old snapshots.
• “Safe” snapshots. Only completed snapshots are retained. Available disk space is checked before the backup begins.
• “Safe“ restores. If to a local drive, replaced files are placed in the Trash—they are never deleted.*
• Continually adding new features.

*The Restore process can not recover from the target drive failing or going offline, although you may repeat a restore after the drive is returned to service.
