I have a 13" MBP I bought just after Christmas with a 250gb hard drive. I just got a Seagate Free Agent to Go Mac 250gb external hard drive to perform backups. After reading various posts I decided to use Carbon Copy Clone to make a bootable backup of my drive and then do incremental backups on a daily basis.
I'm just a bit confused about whether I should use Time Machine for incremental backups rather than Carbon Copy Clone, so in essence I would have 2 partitions on the Seagate drive, one bootable and one for Time Machine. Of course my problem is that I bought a small external drive (oops!) so having the 2 partitions will fill it up quicker.
I guess my question is whether Carbon Copy Clone is enough with doing incremental backups or should I also be using Time Machine. Or, is Time Machine enough for performing backups since I have a system disk?
I'm a bit confused if you can't tell. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
