[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1323239, member: 46727"] First: Please do not post with an enlarged font as it makes it difficult to read and also takes up quite a bit of space. Normal font should suffice. If you have impaired vision, I understand and apologize for editing your post. To answer your question.... I use a combination of CCC and Time Machine for backing up. I keep two separate external hard drives; one for CCC and the other for TM. I do not recommend using Disk Utility to create a backup image unless you plan on deploying that image. Keep in mind that a Time Machine backup can not be booted, however, it's an excellent tool for migrating to a new machine and of course restoring versions of files and other data. CCC on the other hand, creates a bootable backup which is handy if your internal hard drive should go south. [/QUOTE]
