[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1810002, member: 131855"] You would have to partition the dtive and have Time Machine backups on one partition and SuperDuper backups on the other partition. I'd probably avoid doing that though because there is one major flaw with that arrangement: [B]If your backup drive fails it could ruin both the Time Machine and SuperDuper backups leaving you with nothing[/B]. As for your other questions: 1. The current version of SuperDuper works with OS X versions 10.10 and above including the current one (Mojave). That version will not run on your G5. Links to older versions of the program can be found on the right side of [URL="https://shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html"]this page[/URL]. The links start just below where it says System Requirements. To find out which version of OS X you have boot the G5 and choose "About This Mac" from the Apple menu at the left. The nextwindow that appears shouldtell you which version of OS X is installed. 2. The USB drives should work. The G5 has USB ports but they will not transfer at USB 3 speed. Not a big issue it just makes things a bit slower. 3. Firewire is simply another way of connectinghard drives and other peripherals to the Mac. Those drives are usually a bit faster than USB 1 or 2 but tend to cost more. Since you hace alreadgy got USB drives I wouldn't worry about Firewire. [/QUOTE]
