[QUOTE="credential, post: 1160176, member: 176646"] Thanks for the info! Just a couple of follow up questions: 1) You mentioned two types of backups...TM and bootable. Would you recommend using either SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner instead of TM? 2) When looking at various external hard drives, there are some that suggest they are specifically for Mac (and also seem to be a bit more expensive). What makes these specific to Mac...would it just be that they come pre-formatted for Macs? If I'm looking to use the external hard drive for TM on the Mac and to also store files from PC, should I avoid these "specific to mac" hard drives? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
