(or reinforcement) on the appropriate procedure for doing a daily back-up that
rotates between two removable drives every other week.
I am backing up to a macintosh file. I have two 60gig USB drives. I want
to backup to one for a week then take it to a safety deposit box. I want to use
the other one to do the next weeks back-up.
q: With just getting started in the world of retrospect my thinking is that I will:
1. do the back-up on the first one.
2. Copy those files to the other drive.
3. Mount the second drive and name it the same as the first.
4. start back-up on the second.
Does this sound appropriate. The whole "taking the drive to the
safety deposit
box" thing I think is a little overkill but this is what was decided
by the "higher
ups" :-)
Thanks in advance
