Hi Jim I think it's a good idea to keep things in perspective here. You may think that's a little steep but consider the losses you could make by not having your system properly backed up. I'm guessing that the kind of losses we're talking about here would be considerably higher than the price of a good backup solution. But well, that's just my take. You might like to consider Super Duper!
Super Duper! has most or all of the features of CCC and it's free if you don't need the Smart Updates feature or the scheduled backups. There are actually backup facilities built into the OS, if you want to go into the Terminal and do the job from there. That method is, of course, free. I'm not the right person to guide you there. But how about having a read of the Take Control books on the subject of system backup? I personally use the CCC and also Super Duper! solutions because I cannot begin to estimate the losses which a blitz of our system would cause us, both in time needed to get it back up and running again, and in data loss. The second criterium being the most vital, of course. I consider these applications an investment, just like insuring one's home. Just my take. I wouldn't dream of telling anybody what they should or shouldn't do. <--- Gordon Smith ---> This message was written using 100 Percent recycled electrons.
