from my experience the best way to backup is....
get "silverkeeper" or similar backup app, get a harddisk that has the
same size as your internal one & formatt it with hfs+, do a !
bootable! backup so all (incl hidden) files are copied to the new
drive, afterwards your may do the backup on a regulare basis
(silverkepper will just synchronise, which is faster & no need to
reformatt the hd)
or you may backup the libraries especially:
user/library/mail

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...
Had them replaced by insurance, but no fun!!. Half the joy of
getting new computers is planning when..and it wouldn't have been
now with Leopard coming and new hardware around the corner!
.and backups I had weren't very useful.
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...
