So what if we don't want the entire drive cloned and only our user

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.

For this a simple finder drag of the Users directory to the FW drive is
sufficient.



That's true, but then, if you're planning to do this on a regular basis, you
would copy a lot of files that haven't changed since the last copy...

True, but now you're getting into backup script territory, which is a different issue.
