[QUOTE="opus_az, post: 376396, member: 23566"] You might consider buying an external firewire drive and backing up the system using SuperDuper! (silly name, great software). SuperDuper! can backup the entire system, even making the backup bootable, so a complete restore is a sinch. I've done this, not because I needed to but to experiment. My external hard drive has three partitions on it, one for a complete system backup, one for daily backups, just files, and one for weekly backups, just files. I use the Rocstor drives since they're recommended by my local Apple dealer but of course there's plenty others out there. The SuperDuper! is much preferred in the Apple community over all other solutions, both for it's ease of use and for it's system backup completeness. [/QUOTE]
