[QUOTE="McBie, post: 943752, member: 54417"] Take a step back mate and answer the following 2 questions: 1) How long can you afford to be out of business ( ie. without the data on your Mac ) 2) How much data can you afford to loose and how much time and effort are you willing to invest in re-creating lost or corrupted data. The answers to these 2 questions will define your backup strategy and the required technology. Time Machine will make unattended backups every hour ( unless you tweak it ) but the backups are not bootable. Other tools like SuperDuper! will create a bootable backup which is a snapshot in time, but will get you back in business much faster than Time Machine. What about a combination of both ? :) Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
