[QUOTE="6string, post: 948063, member: 120039"] MUST MUST MUST have a an External back up. Yes, that's 3 musts, and it would be more if I didn't think you knew how essential I am saying it is. Regular backup, or at least any time you are about to make any big changes, or update, it is always a good idea to repair disk permissions then do a backup. If money isn't too much of an issue, having 2-3 external HDs is the way to go, as then you can have one for regular backups, one for bootable clones, and one partitioned to have both regular backups and a bootable clone as a backup for the backups. Anyway, I's sure that I have made my point, and if you really want, you can go through the hard luck stories of those who had no backups. [/QUOTE]
