[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1791749, member: 83420"] I don't dispute any of these comments and replies. We all have different views and needs and these can be served in various ways, My question was in the spirit of genuine interest. My personal view is that Time Machine is not an archive, but is an extremely valuable asset for the reasons I mentioned - I have 2 TM backups in case of EHD failure or corruption. And, like Rod, start new ones after an OS Upgrade when I'm satisfied that all is running well. Similarly, I have 2 cloned BUs. But for longer term archiving of valuable/precious data, I use a variety of EHDs. I respect and acknowledge that there are different and genuine views on this subject. Ian [/QUOTE]
