I have an iMac on a network that serves as our "server". It is a 350mhz
model with usb and ethernet, no firewire. I have been backing up using a
CD-RW burner and Retrospect on the iMac. I know many of you use Retrospect.

I am required at work to begin using file vault on all the machines (6). I
have read that this will increase the size and time of backups dramatically,
because the whole user folder must be backed up when there is even a small
incremental change to one of the files.

So my question is this: Is there a USB-DVD burner or USB tape backup drive
that would be a better option than a CD-RW? Or any other bright
suggestions???

Thanks


Kind regards,
Andy
