[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1173890, member: 56379"] I kind of feel the same way. I know where all of my important files are located (music, MS Office, videos, photos, installers for free apps., etc.)...so I just copy them manually every so often to an external HD. I don't really need to backup my "paid for" applications (I have the original discs if I need to reinstall)...or backup my OS (I can reinstall that as well if there's a problem). This is probably due to my "backing up" habits from the "old days" when backup programs were a bit more "clunky". This method saves some space on the external drive as well. But I can see the benefits of Time Machine...it just makes things easy...the way Apple likes to do things for the user. So if that encourages more folks to perform backups...I guess that's a good thing!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
