- 27" Retina 5K iMac 3.2Ghz Quad 24GB RAM, 1TB HD. iPhone 11.
On my iMac I have a 250GB internal system drive, a 250GB USB drive and a 640GB Firewire drive.
I have just got a 2TB Firewire drive which I want to use as a backup drive but I'm wondering what software would be best for me to do the backups.
The System Drive really only has OSX, fonts and applications so what I'd like is for this drive to be backed up once a week as an image so that I could just restore it should the system drive ever fail.
The 640GB and 250GB external drives have different data on them (thousands of photos, mp3's, documents, software dmg files etc etc) which is constantly being added to, modified etc. I'm thinking it would be best to do one total backup followed by incremental ones to just backup new and modified files. I'd like this to be something that can be automated on a daily basis.
Can anyone recommend some software that would be suitable?
