Dashboard is home to widgets: mini-applications that let you perform common tasks and provide you with fast access to information. With a single click, Dashboard appears, complete with widgets that bring you a world of information — real-time weather, stock tickers, flight information and more — instantly. Dashboard disappears just as easily, so you can get back to what you were doing.

Tiger includes a suite of widgets to get you started, and you can add more anytime. With so many widgets at your disposal, the Widget Bar comes in handy. Click the plus sign and Dashboard launches a Widget Bar displaying every available widget. Drag widgets from the Bar to the Dashboard and watch as they appear with a cool ripple effect. Once you have your widgets where you want them, just close the Widget Bar with a single click.

DiskErase [2003.11.03] (back to top)

—Available in all labs.
—Look under Applications Utilities DiskErase

Apple provides a "Disk Utility" application to format disks, but it expects to have administrator privileges to be able to do anything. These privileges are not required by the underlying operating system merely to erase removable media. Carnegie Mellon University provides an application called DiskErase to allow users to erase and re-format removable media without needing to be administrators. The installation provides support for erasing floppy, Zip, LS-120 (SuperDisk), and DVD-RAM media using various invocations of Apple's "disktool" and "newfs" commands. Via another mechanism, DiskErase allows erasing CD-RW discs, so they can be burned again. DiskErase provides a reasonable user interface for detecting media inserted and ejected while it is already running, as well.

If you deploy Disk Erase at your site, you may need to customize a stanza in the source code which translates low-level device names to human-readable device descriptions; otherwise, the user will be presented with only the low-level device name, which is less than useful for differentiating between drives attached to a machine. Many popular devices, as well as some others Carnegie Mellon University has in their clusters, are already supported, but this does not guarantee it is ready for use at your site. For more information, look at the comments in the source code.

Disk Erase is not future-proof; it depends on a private framework to detect disk insertions and provide a user-friendly response to them. This framework is not guaranteed by Apple to maintain the same API in future versions of Mac OS X. It is possible that Disk Erase will need to be updated for future OS versions.

DV Backup 1.4 [2005.10.08] (back to top)
http://www.coolatoola.com/ for more information.

—Available in all labs.
—Look under Applications Utilities DV Backup

DV Backup is a Mac OS X application which lets you use your digital camcorder as a data backup device. You can use DV Backup to store over 16GB of data per hour of tape, depending on what level of protection you require to allow recovery from tape errors, and you can span backups over multiple tapes for unlimited backup capacity. Backups can also be compressed to increase the use of available tape space.

You can also use DV Backup to backup to a hard drive. This allows you to keep backups readily available if you feel that regular access will be needed to them. When this is no longer the case, these backups can be easily transferred to tape for longer term storage. Similarly if it is suspected that regular access will be needed to a backup which has been previously archived to tape, that backup can be easily transferred to the hard drive for more convenient availability.

DV Backup works with most DV and Digital8 camcorders. It also works with most DVCAM and some DVCPRO decks which support larger 3 hour tapes, providing a corresponding capacity increase of over 50GB per tape for certain devices supporting up to 5.5 hours of recording time.

DV Backup automatically remotely controls the camcorder, no user intervention is needed to position the tapes or otherwise control the camera, all tape operations are entirely automatic and hands-free.

Features:

• Backup, restore, verify with up to 11.5GB (SP) and 17.5GB (LP) capacity per hour of tape
• Hard drive store to keep regularly-accessed backups conveniently available
• Capability to seamlessly span backups over an unlimited number of multiple tapes
• Ability to perform selective backups and restores (with "Direct Access" for restoring)
• Ability to group regularly-used file/folder collections into named sets for convenience
• Option of incremental and compressed backups
• Full table-of-contents listing for each tape including user comments
• unattended scheduled backups feature
• Fully automatic control of the camera including all tape positioning
• User-configurable buffer size with underrun and overrun prevention
• 8 levels of error protection/recovery, from none through to full duplication
• File/folder archive during backup, de-archive during restore
• PAL, NTSC and SECAM MiniDV, Digital8 and DVCAM devices supported
• Drag-and-drop functionality
