[QUOTE="Nevermore, post: 761576, member: 65779"] [b]Someone more tech savvy will answer you shortly[/b] I am sure but as an immediate response, you have to differentiate backup from archive. If you archive something, you have it forever. If you backup, you only have your current system state up to a certain time limit. With Time Machine, that depends on how large your EHD for it is and how much things change on your system. If you want to archive forever, you can still use Time Machine but you will have to use a new EHD when it tells you that your old one is full and it wants to delete an earlier backup. I have read that it will warn you before it does that but have no personal experience with same. [/QUOTE]
