Journalling file system is default on boot volume in Panther. It is a filesystem that keeps track of changes on the volume and this way it recovers quicker from crashes (I did not have any yet so I keep my fingers crossed). As for the Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) - this is a free software that you can use to clone a volume. I do this once every 6 months to keep my data in optimal shape (I also use it once in a while [2-3 weeks] to copy all volumes to the external FW drive for backup). I have three volumes on the internal drive and copy each using CCC over to the FW drive (partitioned to three volumes that match my partitions on the internal drive). Then I boot from the FW disk and copy all data volume by volume back to my internal drive. Then boot from the internal drive and everything is back to normal only data on the volumes are reorganized. No other software needed. The whole excersise takes under 3 hours on my half full 80GB internal disk. You can get the CCC package from versiontracker. If you use it you can contribute to the author that publishes it as a freeware. -- Honza ICQ: 134361915 .Mac: musiljan -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
