[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1660088, member: 56379"] Yes…we recommend that app often.:) Great idea!:) Backing up at this point may not be the best idea (unless you only do a manual backup of important files). If an automatic backup is done…anything "bad" that these scammers did to the internal storage could be backed up as well. Then when a "restore" from the backup is done…you could simply "reinfect" things! But as far as backup solutions for a MacBook Air. Firstly…even the vast majority of computers with a "CD drive"…don't use the CD drive anymore for doing backups. Solutions you would most likely use are: - USB thumb drives (mostly for manual backing up of important files) - External USB hard drives…for doing manual or automated backups. - Online (Cloud Storage) for backing up or storage of important files.
