[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1648923, member: 175845"] Gee Rod, thanks for the credit, but I wasn't even thinking of or using Ethernet, but you're correct, it can be fast and useful. I was more concerned about the OP's concern about Time Machine, and it's not even required for the job at hand as far as I can see. I haven't bothered or used TM for years as CCC does and suits all my backup needs. PS: I had to laugh at myself a few weeks ago when youngest (adult) son was visiting with his newer MBPro and needed to do some OS X changing, so I got out my FW cables and he shook his head no - no FW ports. So I grabbed an Ethernet cable to do the data transfer, and again he shook his head no - his MBPro didn't even have an Ethernet port for Gods sake, and certainly no %$#@(*&# $40.00-$60.00 Ethernet adapter. So much for "new and improved". :( [/QUOTE]
