I've been using CrashPlan for a while. I just got an iMac and now I don't know which to use, CrashPlan or Time Machine? Pros and cons?

The CrashPlan web site specifically recommends using both CrashPlan and making backups to an external drive. I agree with them. In other words, use both CrashPlan for off site on line backup, and Time Machine with an external drive.

Regards.

Awesome man, thanks! I wasn't sure if Time Machine was worth it at all. I was considering just using CrashPlan for offsite and external drive backup.
