[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1810007, member: 131855"] Ignore that G5 part then. I confused that part if the initial post in the thread with part of your question. I'm putting on my dunce cap now. So to recap: 1. The current version of SuperDuper should work for you. Carbon Copy Cloner will also work. It's really a matter of which you prefer. 2. The USB drives will work as a backup option. 3. No need to worry about Firewire drives if you don't already have them. My statement about having Time Machine Backups annd Carbon Copy Cloner backups still stands. Having both on the same drive is probably not good. You can boot your Mac from a Time Machine backup made with the recent versions of Time Machine. I still prefer a clone made with SuperDuper because you can boot from the clone and get right back to work. In a major failure you have to wait for Time Machine to restore the OS. To be honest there's room in a good backup plan for both Time Machine and "cloned" backups amde with SuperDuper or something similar. [/QUOTE]
