[QUOTE="XMARLTONX, post: 751091, member: 28503"] Yes time machine can do this, wonderfully actually. The only question you have to ask yourself is if you want your backup to be bootable. Example: If you have an external HD and make your backup using Time Machine all of your files will be on there safe and sound. However, you will have to copy them all back onto your new internal should it fail, and your system won't be exactly the same. [URL="http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html"]Carbon Copy Cloner[/URL], a nifty little program, will make a bootable copy which you could boot your mac from, then copy over directly onto your new internal, and it will be like nothing ever happened. This takes about an hour to do and it is easy to schedule. I run mine every sunday. [/QUOTE]
