So what if we don't want the entire drive cloned and only our user directories? My brother shares my powerbook with me when he's home from college. I want to backup our files to a hard drive but not the entire drive which would include the OS and other applications.

If you want to clone your iBook drive to make it bootable, then you should
use "Carbon Copy Cloner". This will create an exact duplicate of your iBook
hard drive that you will be able to use to startup the iBook. I think there
are some options to synchronize an already cloned drive to its clone within
Carbon Copy Cloner, but I'm not sure as I have never used it.


iTunes doesn't have the ability to maintain a backup copy like Word. Think
of somebody who has over 29,000 songs and you'll realize why!


However, that being said, I regularly synchronize my iTunes music folder
from my Pismo to my PowerMac using <shameless plug> my shareware
synchronization tool, File Synchronization </shameless plug>. There is the
iTunes music library file that needs to be synchronized and, of course, the
iTunes music folder.


I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you might have regarding the
synchronization process at nemesys <at> verizon <dot> net.
