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.

Many thanks

Andrew

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?

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.

Best wishes

Andrew
