Intego Backup Manager Pro
Intego Backup Manager Pro is a file backup and restoration utility for macOS that lets users create backups of their data to external drives or network locations, manage multiple backup versions, and selectively restore files to their original places or alternative locations. It was commonly bundled with LaCie external hard drives and appealed to users who wanted straightforward incremental backup without the complexity of full disk cloning tools. The app stores files in their native format, making it easy to browse and recover individual files directly from the backup folder.

1 suggestionIntego Backup Manager Pro has been discontinued by its vendor and is no longer supported. There is no native Apple Silicon build of this application, and since it is end-of-life, there is no indication one will ever be released. The app currently runs under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), meaning this application will stop launching entirely on that release. You should begin evaluating and migrating to an alternative backup solution well before then. Carbon Copy Cloner and ChronoSync are actively maintained Mac backup utilities with confirmed Apple Silicon native support and offer similar file-level backup and restore capabilities. For users primarily concerned with archival and photo library backups, Time Machine (built into macOS) covers basic versioned backup needs at no cost, though it lacks the cross-drive sync features some users preferred in Intego Backup Manager Pro.
