Ok, so I finally jumped into the deep end of the pool and purchased an OWC Mercury Elite Pro 1 TB external hard drive. Now what?! I'm doing my first initial backup in Time Machine, which is obviously taking forever since I have over 10,000 photos (amateur photographer) in Aperture 2. I posted a thread on another forum, and they suggested that I not use Time Machine due to the slowness and several other issues, and instead to use a cloning program like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Has anyone else used these/other 'cloners'?
I'm currently running OS X 10.5.8, but want to upgrade to 10.6.x so that I can upgrade to Aperture 3 - I just bought an Olympus XZ1 that is only compatible (RAW) with the Aperture 3 updates. So once this initial backup is completed, I would like to upgrade both my operating system and Aperture -- then do another backup/clone with the NEW information. I'm pretty sure that I don't want Lion, as I've read about numerous problems with it.
So I guess basically I'm just looking for some help and pointers.
