This is comletely off-topic, but I thought I'd ask it here as I know there are some Mac users here, and this is the most helpful forum I know.
My daughter will shortly be going to university to study photography and has been advised to buy a Macbook. I know next to nothing about Macs. For backup, it looks like Time Machine is the simple option, and I have a couple of questions: 1. Can *any* external USB hard disk be used, or is there some subtle requirement that limits the choices? (I realise that it'll probably need reformatting first). 2. I presume that if the external drive happens not be attached when the next incremental is due, that's not a problem and Time Machine will just catch up next time the external drive can be seen. Is that correct? -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81142 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
