A strategy which I have found to be useful is a 1 TB drive partitioned into two identical halves. The lowest is the primary. The highest is the alternate. At the end of each week, the lowest is cloned to the highest by automatically selecting the changed files, a CCC option. The initial time, only, this results in a complete copy. GUID's hidden partition, which is actually below the lowest partition, and where the EFI emulation stuff is kept on a Hackintosh, is not copied. This hidden partition is never used by Apple, so this backup strategy works for an Apple running Leo as well as a Hackintosh running Leo. http://groups.google.com/group/hq-a <+> A home for the Hackintosh community.
