Ok I have an external but it's got a lot of music and stuff on it. I could
transfer things onto the little key and make room on that for the back up. If
you around in an hour or so, look for my mail if you can to help me proceed
with the external. On the external there is a section that says mac I don't
know if I have to connect it and click that tab and do something or what?
Anyhow if anyone can chime in here I would appreciate it. For now let me make
room on the c gate.

Hello Zoe,
When you say a USB key, are you referring to one of those little key-fob like
devices that are smaller than the size of an average finger? If so, I’m not
certain I would use such a device to serve as the storage media for my backups.
All things being equal, they are remarkably slow. While these little USB keys
are marvelous for quickly transferring or even transporting data files, they
would definitely not be my device of choice.
If you have the money, I would recommend that you go to your local technology
retailer and purchase a portable USB hard drive. In the USA, for example, one
can acquire such a device at Best Buy for approximately $50.
Of course, this is just my opinion.
Mark

Hi guys, I have decided to upgrade my mac, and took the advice of a member who
said to back up my system. Apperantly I need 28.8 gb of space to back up and I
have I u s b key that has 59 gb of space so my questions are two, but let’s
begin with the first.
Do I need to format this key somehow to use with the imac? Or do I just
connect and ready to go?
