.Mac users: Launch Software Update. Apple has released Backup 3.1, with several changes. According to Apple:

"Backup 3.1 delivers added support for some backup destinations and addresses file restoration and other issues. Backup 3.1 is recommended for all users of Backup 3.0. Significant areas addressed are: improved support for iDisk, local hard drives, and some network destinations (Mac OS X Tiger only); new iWeb QuickPick and updated iLife plan; and addresses issues with restoring files."

I'm looking forward to checking out the iWeb QuickPick. Grab your copy, and let us know if anything goes wonky.
