I’ve found iusethis.com for a source of popular apps and such. Off the top of my list would be the Unsanity products HERE, of course, as you’ve listed it already, Flip4Mac, iBackup, info.xhead, and another one by the Flip4Mac people, Drive In.
I agree that the Unsanity products are good. They are not FREE, which is the focus of this serious of posts. I have never heard of info.xhead before, but it appears to be a commercial product as well, as well as Flip4Mac’s Drive In, which I did demo and would recommend to anyone looking for that functionality and was willing to pay for it.
iBackup has never fully worked for me. I found that it caused problems or simply would not work as advertised. I tend to use Mike Bombich’s products most for backing up data. You can find these in this post which I put up today.
