[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1828091, member: 83420"] And to prove that Jake is not alone, I too follow his strategy. I have an iMac, attached to which are two EHDs as Time Machine backups (modern OSs allow up to two TM Drives attached). I have "Backup Automatically" turned off and manually invoke a TM backup on a regular basis. Of course, this requires that I (or you) remember to do this. But the great advantage is that only one snapshot is associated with each TM backup, the previous one from the last BU being deleted before TM does its job. I also have CCC. I have snapshots turned off, but I think (only think) that CCC needs just one snapshot for proper working. If I'm right, like TM, it deletes the previous one before creating the new. To answer your last point, pine man, TM snapshots and CCC snapshots are in no way associated with each other. Ian [/QUOTE]
