[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1039435"] Doesn't matter. Everyone has their favourite and they will swear up and down that all the others except (brand x) are junk. It really doesn't matter. I personally still prefer Firewire external hard drives with a USB2 option over USB2 only, because FW is faster. That said, for backup it hardly matters. If you call clicking "Use as Backup Drive" when TM asks you if your freshly-connected external drive should be used for backup, then yes you need to "learn" it. :) I'd suggest having a look at [URL="http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#timemachinebasics"]this video[/URL] to see what TM is all about -- and to wonder why you never thought to use TM up till now.
