Hi Scott.
I've also got a little external harddisc I'll use to backup my Mac.
I've made a backup of the whole system. What happen if I de-site to
remove some programs? Can I choose to remove these programs in Time
machine as well? If I remove 10 gb of data which I don't use anymore,
do I then have to remove it manually from my backup disc?
Best regards

The short answer is Time Machine will backup your Mac to a drive and
will continue to do so hourly. It will allow you to immediately go
and retrieve something you've deleted and possibly dumped from your
trash and suddenly realize you want it. Also, it's done
automatically so you don't have to think about it. Of course it'll
only backup items that have been changed, are new etc. Copying and
so forth is of course another option available to you, provided you
are faithful in doing this on a regular basis.
Hope that helps.

Ok, so I got my new external hard drive and am wondering. What's the
difference between using Time Machine to back up my files and just
copying and pasting? I want to back up things on a few different
computers: my Mac, my parents' XP desktop, my XP desktop and possibly
my XP laptop, if I can ever get it to work long enough to do that.
Thanks,
Tiffanitsa
