- 13.3" macbook pro (2010) 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 Gb RAM, 500GB HD.
I've seen things like carbon copy cloner recommended around here as a backup tool.
The thing is, I'm just not seeing the point.
I recently got an external HD and made a time machine backup.
Yesterday I thought well since my mac is fairly new and doesn't have much on it to 'lose' yet, I'd reformat and test the time machine restore function.
I booted up using the install disk, wiped the HD and restored from my time machine backup and everything was identical to how I left it, it was perfect.
Why would I need some other software when time machine works so well?
