My husband and I both had out laptops stolen...again

His a White 13" macbook (SN 4H6891CUU9B) only 4 months old (replaced after the last robbery), mine an older powerbook Metal 15" (SN W88169C2RG4) that was stolen and returned, had a brand new hard drive etc

So if you see them...

Report the serial numbers to Apple on 133-MAC so they'll get picked up if serviced, if you haven't done so already.


I know this question has been asked and answered before, but I've lost all my wamug mail, so don't have archive address. What's the best method/ hardware/ software for easy backups. Is there a way I could have a system to back up our computers wirelessly?

And don't suggest .mac...that didn't work, half the material didn't work because the full backups didn't work...

I'm using the belt-and-braces approach of Retrospect and SuperDuper. Retrospect's future is somewhat indeterminate though.

There was mention on TidBITs of two online backup services

namely Mozy and Bandwagon DIY (for iTunes).

Other options are the less than user friendly Amanda:

or BRU

There's a review of some other options here:

Have fun,
