[QUOTE="stefanmaine, post: 1943488, member: 197051"] iMac with Ventura For decades, I have backed up my essential personal files on hard disks (before that on floppies). I good friend saw me doing that a few days ago and reacted "That's silly! Get a portable drive." She mentioned a Seagate device for less than a hundred dollars. So you know: Documents "info" is 10GB; Apps is 24GB (176 items); Desktop is 1.5MB (16 items) In a disaster, the apps could be replaced so presumably no need to back them up? On the Desktop is one folder with a dozen or so small files in it. I will appreciate any thoughts/recommendations. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
