Hi Sabahattin, I find your post on backups very interesting. I do not have as much knowledge as you do but I'm really wanting to learn. I'd like to ask additional questions if you don't mind responding. And please feel free to respond privately as I'm concerned my questions are probably off topic. I'm going to edit your message as needed and include my questions.

Me: How can such snapshots be achieved? Can you point me to a source of knowledge on this one? Can your mac be restored from such snapshots? I already take copies of entire system with Superduper: is this what you mean? Can a restoration after a possible disaster be achieved from Superduper image? > > My advice is to keep with a wired network if you wish to use Time Machine. Me: You mention a NAS drive. I have such a NAS device, WDMycloud by Western Digital to which I bakcup using Time Machine but it's intersting that I often get asked to perform a full backup to improve reliability, which would confirm what you have explained about the interrupted wireless signal. Would you also suggest backing up to a thunderbolt drive? Would it be more reliable? If you can think off hand without wishing to waste your time, where I could learn more about this subject, I'd appreciate some pointers.
