[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1642683, member: 284358"] How often and to what extent you backup your data is really determined on how valuable the data is to you. I for one backup via TimeMachine. Its not directly bootable, however in Mac Recovery mode, you can restore the entire OS and backed up Data (Apps, Photos, Etc.. etc..) all at one time. However I do have a bootable copy of OSX on external drive and I do make DVD backups of all my files on a periodic basis for redundancy. Having a redundant backup plan is always good. But the key to a good backup plan is making it as painless as possible to perform. If it becomes a hassle, then chances are you will start skipping backups or not messing with it at all. This is why I stick with Time Machine and manually once every month make DVD backups of latest videos and photos from my video blog & photography. [/QUOTE]
