I used carbon copy cloner the first time and it worked great on two separate external HDs.
Seems to me you are making great progress in adapting to Jaguar, Don! Pat yourself on the back!
Now I have two questions. 1) When it clones, it puts everything on the ext. HD exactly as it appears on the main HD. However, since the ext. HD is large and roomy, I'd like to copy a second computer (the iBook) to it as well. However, unless I can put one or both copies inside a folder, I'm afraid the second will copy over some of the same items of the first and make a mess. Can this be done--clone two HDs to the same ext. HD?
Sure. Best way is to partition the external HD into two or more partitions. Keep the backup of one drive on one partition, and the other drive on the other partition.
Is that necessary before each new cloning to delete the previous storage?
No. Sounds like a permissions problem. You might want to set CCC to check permissions before cloning. You might also want to have it just "synchronise" source to target, removing any items not on source. That way, after the first "complete" clone, CCC will only copy those things that have changed. Saves a lot of time.
