Re: Basic questions from a possible newbie

actually, I do backup to networked volumes with superduper!, so this statement is not absolutely correct. what it does not like to do is to backup remote, external drives (i.e. not hooked up to your local machine) via network to remote, external drives, but this is rather a rare scenario. ---m

Re: Basic questions from a possible newbie

I did my first SuperDuper the other evening, 120GB MacBook to a 250GB LaCie. The SuperDuper was unable to do an ASR after the backup (which I assume is bootable -- this is new to me, I am coming from a Windows environment). I realize this is slightly OT, but do I or don't I have a bootable proper

Re: Spotlight cache in PM folder?

I don't know what back-up software you are using, but I just label the cache Yellow and have the software not back up yellow files/folders. Another point you might not be aware of, if you open (control click) the cache, you will find it full of tiny little files. In my case, I think, 5*10^5 files.

Re(2): Basic questions from a possible newbie

FWIW, I use PowerMail because when I moved to OSX from OS 9, I tried a bunch of email clients, on my then large email database. (I am adamant that I will not throw out old email). PowerMail was then the only email client that didn't grind to a halt or quickly corrupt the files. Now, with the additi
