[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1157342, member: 24160"] Personally, I would recommend an external drive instead. Then use either SuperDuper! (cheap) or CarbonCopyCloner (free) to create a bootable backup. Three problems solved in one: a backup a bootable backup to continue working when the internal drive dies until you have the time to get it replaced a bootable backup with all your tools to troubleshoot and/or restore the internal drive in case of a faulty update, app install, etc. 16 GB flash drive: $20-$40 500 GB external drive: $60-$70 1 TB external: <$100 [/QUOTE]
