Hi. I want to switch my back up drive to one with a greater capacity. How do I do it and still preserve the info stored on my old drive?

Any info?

iBook G3 - You'll be missed.
Try Bombich Software: Carbon Copy Cloner You'll be able to make a clone of your drive, then you can restore the new drive with the copy of the other one. Everything hsould be just the same. OR you could plug both drives in and just drag and drop from one to the other. It'd just make a copy of the contents if you dragged and dropped, nothing would be deleted.
