Backing -up just feels soooooo good !

Dont you just love the sound of your ex-hdd spinning up and the TM icon on your menu bar starting to turn and you just know that God is in heaven , the sun will come up tomorrow , all your data is safe and all is right with the world ! .......Or is it just me ?

I agree. I love the feeling when you know all of your data is safe.

i do a manual back up because i do not have TM. but it is a good feeling.

What's even better is when you need to recover something and TM produces the goods. Sweet!

Haha. Never thought of it quite that way before.

can't wait...I won't have enough money to buy a Ex' Harddrive for another couple of weeks. It will be my first. By the way does anyone have any suggestions for me..I was thinking about going over to best buy and checking some out.

if you still have your old baby chewed pc just take the hdd out of it and buy a cheap enclosure or USB adapter then reformat it on your Mac to Mac journaled and bam your set up on the cheap untill you can afford what you want.

There is a real cheap "do it yourself " computer place here that sells USB adapters for 10 bucks ! So maybe check the phone book ?

thanks clay....

glad to help

I have something better than that:

When your teacher questions if everyone saved all their papers from last year to add in to your portfolio, you'll just be sitting there thinking, "yeah, every hour"

;D

+1, sort of. I don't have an external drive. I use a flash drive and an internet storage site. Since I've never lost... Wait! Not gonna jinx myself! Let's just say, I hope it works when it needs to.

Sure, but you can no longer claim that your dog ate your homework.

i like it

my turbo tax documents have given up the ghosts to pc crashes the last two years(along with other stuff)! i wiped my old hard drive clean, reformatted, got an external case - tada!

i just this second closed turbo out, and came here.

it really does give you piece of mind

So I am writing this from my CCC back-up drive ! I came home from work , fired up the Macbook for another stirring session on Mac-Forums ,find a post on bootcamp with NO BACK-UPS . So I respond that he really shouldn't be doing anything with out a back-up. I go pour myself a cup of coffee and when I get back to my desk I hear my hdd trying to eat its way out of my machine!
Now over the years I have has more then a couple of drives fail a couple I would even as categorize catastrophic but wow ! I mean a total melt down, quick power down and get the tools and after I opened this thing up it was still almost too hot to touch.
But am I worried ? Am I freaking out about all my stuff ? No I am not ,And you all know why..

Thank you Carbon Copy . While I was waiting to power this back up I went online with the trusty iPhone and did something I should have done before...donated to Carbon Copy !

Update....just got the RMA from WD brand new drive on the way. Love that 5 yr warranty and a company that backs up ( pun not intended) its products !
