[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1210761, member: 46727"] I have no idea why you would even want to use the Mini to backup your newer iMac? Large external hard drives are inexpensive and easy to use with Time Machine. Besides that, they're portable. I guess you can always try to hook the Mini to your iMac via firewire and then use Target disk mode to transfer data from the iMac to the hard drive on the Mini. See [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661"]this Apple KB article[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
