[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1491344"] If you don't care what you lose, you don't need a backup. If/when the hard drive crashes and you lose everything, you'll have to get the HD replaced, reinstall OSX and whatever software you had on it and be on your way. You'll lose pictures, documents, music, mail, passwords, printer drivers, contacts, etc. Basically anything you add to the machine that isn't in the bare bones OSX install. If that's ok with you, then you don't need a backup at all. [/QUOTE]
