[QUOTE="andymac2210, post: 1221202, member: 189082"] I've seen things like carbon copy cloner recommended around here as a backup tool. The thing is, I'm just not seeing the point. I recently got an external HD and made a time machine backup. Yesterday I thought well since my mac is fairly new and doesn't have much on it to 'lose' yet, I'd reformat and test the time machine restore function. I booted up using the install disk, wiped the HD and restored from my time machine backup and everything was identical to how I left it, it was perfect. Why would I need some other software when time machine works so well? [/QUOTE]
