- 15" MBP i5 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD 7200 + iPhone 4 32GB iOS4.1
Hey,
I just got another MacBook Pro, the 15" i5. I'm looking at setting up a server (Windows Server 2003) at home to have as a file server and manage some printers. I work as an IT Technician (in a windows environment) and have a couple old PCs available for free. They are C2D, 2GB RAM and 500GB HDD.
What is my best option for making a backup from my Mac (daily) to the windows box? I will be hoping to make an IMAGE of the Mac, not just a backup of certain directories. So if my Mac dies, I just restore the image and I'm good to go.
Also, on a side note, every now and then I get this weird static click noise from my MacBook Pro. Just a little tick noise. Any ideas on what that would be? I always have Finder, Firefox, itunes, Skype and Outlook open.
Thanks for any help given.
Regards,
-Ben
