[QUOTE="Frayzn, post: 1210794, member: 196247"] Another thing to consider would be the usage of Time Machine if your computers are hooked up on a network. You can set your Mini as the target drive (if you partition using disc utility) and your iMac will back up any changes on the hour, every hour. Even with all the backups, the footprint seems to stay rather close to the actual usage on the main Mac you're backing up. It doesn't matter if your Mini is only running Tiger, as it's the slave drive. It's amazing. I back up my wife's iMac, iBook, and my MacBook Pro to a PowerMac G5 with a 1TB Slave. It's the most pain free, hassle free backup utility I've ever used. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
