[QUOTE="rcronin, post: 566129, member: 24079"] Someone please take pity on me and tell what to do here. I need to back up my HD b/c my MB is being sent to Apple for a diagnostic and they will wipe the HD. I've recently had the HD replaced and backed up all my stuff. Now my HD and back up are not identical anymore. I'm using SuperDuper to create a new, current back up, but I have to keep the older version. I have a WD Passport external HD. When I started the back up with Super Duper, it told me the Passport wasn't formatted correctly and needed to be erased and reformatted (see attachment). If that's true, I need to copy my previous back up onto my HD, reformat the Passport, copy the old backup on to the passport and then do the back up. I think. Yikes. If there is a better, faster, easier way, I would be VERY happy to hear about it. I've spent hours reading M-F's trying to figure this out and I really need to get it done so I can hand it over to Apple. [ATTACH=full]7670[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
