[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1488476, member: 38928"] Aqua: While both competent products - CCC and TM doesn't give the platform independence required. mingteck: While you could have an application to transform the folder structure for you at time of copy. How would it know which folders in the path you weren't interested in? Not to mention that you'd end up with a different folder structure on the external which would make future backups and the platform independence required very tricky. Why not discard the whole home/user folder idea - those folder structures differ platform to platform anyway. Just target your data; docs, pictures, video, audio etc. Time Machine already has a backup of everything. Limit your external drive to to you're own, quality data. [/QUOTE]
