[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1791739, member: 396914"] Well, the trust factor is one concern, but TM is better than nothing. Another alternative is to never take any of those files off the internal and use CCC or SD to clone them to a second drive as a backup. I have lost TM, but every time it's because the drive on which TM was located had issues, not that TM itself failed. Now, a network mounted TM, on the other hand, where sparcebundles are used instead of files and links, is a horse of another color. I wouldn't trust that to store anything. I've had two of them lose integrity and there is no way to recover from it. [/QUOTE]
