Hi,
All solutions will require an external/additional hard drive.
Time Machine is more of an archive system than a backup. It will
give you hourly snapshots of your primary disk and is meant to be
attached to your computer at all times. So, if the meteor hits your
Mac, you lose it all.
For an offsite backup, I suggest using a program called SuperDuper or
Carbon Copy Cloner. Both will make bootable copies of your hard
drive and are both shareware or freeware depending on what features
you want.
I personally use SuperDuper and rotate two external drives that are
stored offsite.

Hi listers,
I have a few Windows boxes that I backup (using R-DriveImage) on an external
USB drive in order to be stored off-site. Now that I have my MacBook Pro,
I'd like to be able to create an image file of it and put it on my external
drive, along with my other computer image files. My vision was for my image
backup to be a snapshot of it all (OS, applications and data alike) and be
able to restore it (in whole or in part) if I need to...
Can Time machine (or something else) help me in this respect? Am I
misconceiving the backup principles in a Mac environment? Will I need to
create a different partition on my drive for Mac's sake?
Thank you all in advance for sharing your experience with this newcomer.
Cheers, from Varennes, Qc Canada,

Subject: Re: Safari and internet banking again
While I look around Safari binary code, I found there is a hidden
Debug menu. Type the following command in Terminal (while Safari is
NOT running):
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Then launch Safari, and enjoy the new Debug menu.
The debug menu has some useful options on it, so you may find this a
very useful hack. If you ever wish to disable it again, just repeat
the command with a "0" instead of a "1".

Dear Esther and James and Others,
I've already posted a message here regarding not being able to do
internet banking with Safari. Both James and Esther have helpfully
mentioned a possibility that Safari could pretend to be Internet
Explorer to such sites which do not allow Safari access. I've found
an appropriate message on how to do it in the mail.archive. The
advice there is to run a script in Terminal. I've never used
Terminal but I've just given it a go. I did the following:
I opened new command by pressing command+shift+n, entered in the
text field: defaults write com.apple.safari includedebugmenu 1 and
then pressed run.
According to the advice in the archives, I should then - having
reopened Safari - find in its menu "Debug". However, I'm not finding
it..
Listers, first of all, have I run the script properly? Secondly,
what else do I need to do? Thirdly, why am I not finding "debug" in
the menus in Safari? Have I made a mistake running the script or
typing the text? If I've typed the wrong wrods in the command, how
do I now correct it?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
With best wishes
Simon
