[QUOTE="mingteck, post: 1488139, member: 254115"] OK. I'll test out both SuperDuper and CCC to see if they do that, :(. But it seems such a simple matter, dunno why I must pay for it. Esp. if the fancy ones are free... Mrplow, I'm not sure what you mean by using MacOS journaled... Can you also explain what you mean by "recipient file system can't support the depth of the folder structure"? What recipient file system? Is this a OSX issue? Not quite ready to sort out my files as you suggest, mrplow. They're all over the place - in old folders, some are in folders that has to be there because the software needs them to be in a particular location. I have .doc, .xls, .ppt (and their variants), .pdf, .psd, .avi, gifs, even CAD files like skp and so on. They're currently loosely sorted according to the years. What I do is that I start a new folder every year and dump my stuff into that folder. However, there are other folders which I did not create which holds stuff I need - like iTunes will backup my stuff to some folder which I am not sure which one. I also use a Windows emulator and that also requires folders in particular places. As long as I can access those files through the applications themselves, I don't bother to hunt down their locations. I figure that the safest bet is for me to backup everything beneath my User folder. Kinda assumed that that's what the OS does anyway - separate our files according to the User folders. [/QUOTE]
