Hello, G4 1.37ghz 768mb/120g with recent upgrade to 10.4.6 from 10.4.11. I was using Superduper to keep this, my father's computer, backed up on a 100gig partition on an external firewire drive (with a seperate partition) holding the superdupe clone of my Mini's Internal HD which I run 10.4.11 on. I've never ever touched, seen, or used Timemachine before, but have a year or two of trust and experience with SuperDuper. Should I stick with that or give TimeMachine the job? Can it use a drive physically smaller than the internal drive in his G4? His drive has less than 40gig used and I know SuperDuper is OK with smaller drives holding the dupe of the original, but larger drive. The backup is kept 'offline' completely unplugged from anything unless being updated or 'rescuing' a problem situation. Does this influence TimeMachine's usability? I run SuperDuper on a manual basis on a fairly regular basis and my father backs up his snapshots from iphoto regularly on his own.
Does anyone have an opinion on these issues?
