Re: Backing Up Mac on External Drive?
Hello, There are several ways to do this. 1. Time Machine this is the built in backup strategy that Apple provides. When you first insert a new hard disk, MacOS will ask you if you want to use it for Time Machine, I am fairly sure all you have to do is click yes and it will start backing up. 2. Carbon Copy Cloaner is an independent package that has various options for making copies of folders or disks. I have never used it, but it is supposed to be faster than using built in tools like unix cp, or the finder. 3. Super Duper this is essentially a disk copying software package. It does have the ability to do incremental backups if you upgrade to the non-free version. Joe Kissel has written a Take Control book to help people create a backup strategy that is effective for their needs. If you are a book share user it should be available there, or you can purchase it from Take Control Books.

Backing Up Mac on External Drive?
Hi, Group. I have ordered a 2TB external drive for backing up my Mac today but I have never done that before. I’d be doing it for the first time when the drive arrives.
