[QUOTE="CookbookChef, post: 724019, member: 39464"] So I finally upgraded my Mac Pro to Leopard and decided that it is probably time to start backing the thing up. I'll add that, while I know PCs really well, I still consider myself somewhat of a Mac newbie. The problem/question is, what exactly is the best thing to back up considering the amount of onboard storage I currently have: 1 750GB drive that is essentially my "system drive" 1 750GB drive that holds all of the stuff from various computers, mostly data 1 750GB drive that contains home movies in various states of processing 1 250GB drive that contains photos in various states of processing Time Machines seems like the most obvious solution to me, but I am not sure if that is really the best solution, and given that I probably have 1.5TB of data, exactly what are the recommendations for backing up the various drives and how much external storage should I have? I'll also add that I [U]try[/U] to back up the photos onto DVD as soon as they are offloaded from the camera. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
