[QUOTE="MYmacROX, post: 1199446, member: 92466"] 1. For maximum performance running Windows, use Boot Camp. Parallels, Fusion, Virtual Box allow you to run Windows in an app of its own without restarting and booting into Windows, but you won't get full use of your Mac's processing power and memory. I don't know how intensive the work is you do so you'll have to figure out which option is best. Don't forget, all Macs come with Garage Band installed. That might help, might not be as full-featured as you need. I don't know... just throwing that out there. 2. You can be selective with what you backup with T.M. or you can have it backup your whole "system". You go through all that when you first set it up. Don't forget, to use T.M. you will need to format your external drive to MacOS Extended (Journaled). Easy to do in Disk Utility. Google it. ;) [/QUOTE]
