You don't...you can't. It comes with the subscription to .mac. "Backup" is not for sale as software. It is not provided as stand alone backup software. It is designed to be used with the service much like other parts of other services. It is not leased software, it is just one piece of a service. If you do not get the service, you do not get the software. You stop using the service, you stop using the features of the service. > I don't need a .mac subscription since I use gallery on my own website > and .mac > provides me nothing that I need. Then it is not an issue for you is it. There are plenty of other backup apps out there that are stand alone software apps, available for sale, easy to use. Cheers
