I agree on the advices given about using the fairly cheap external USB disks. Overly confident I didn’t back up from a new computer bought in 2002. When its disk crashed big time a year later, I had lost a year’s work. So I have a couple of these external disks, actually 5, in various sizes, as there have been accelerating drops in price and increases in storing capacity.
Basically I only engrave music on my desktop Mac, but between work sessions ideas will pop up, and I will want to refer them with my files by means of my MacBook. To make that easier I attached my external disks to an Airport Extreme wireless hub (also applicable as a router, but that function is integrated in my cable modem). My back-up systems actually work via Time Machine plus Finale asv & back-up. And here enters my question: How do I make my external disks hooked to the Airport Extreme searchable from my desktop Mac and my MacBook respectively? Formally it is easily possible to do so. At least possible to set up the search via cmd-F. But the search window changes and searches only the internal disk of the Mac from where the search of the external disks is attempted.
