[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1791321, member: 83420"] Many of us would advise two backups in all cases: Time Machine to cover inadvertent deletions or recovery of previous versions- and a bootable backup in the form of a clone. Examples being Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! This becomes all the more important with Solid State Drives because: Unlike spinning hard drives which often give notice of failure and allow for backup and retrieval, SSDs may fail without warning and, as you’ve read above, are highly resistant to data recovery. Best therefore, to have both forms of backup as mentioned above. I also backup Documents, iTunes, Photos library and the like to an EHD as well. My philosophy is that a SSD is either working fine or dead - no in between. And prepare for this in advance. Ian [/QUOTE]
