Arkeia today announced that its Arkeia v5 network backup solution now supports Mac OS X operating systems and offers a plug-in to safeguard Mac MySQL databases. The Arkeia beta version performs backups of all files, including documents and applications, and important system files, such as the Netinfo database. In addition, users can preserve privilege information and special file system features like Mac OS resource forks and Finder attributes. The backup solution is compatible with 10.1 and above Mac OS X and Mac OS X server operating systems. Both the Mac OS X client and MySQL plug-in are available for download now, with the full release coming in March with the Arkeia 5.1 upgrade.
