I seek advice on what the suggested format for backing up my MacPro
to .
my work folder is approx 8.6 GB ( containes 12 years of files)
to date I have been copying to external HD which is now full, then CD
I have been using Apples Backup app in the last 2 years
now I have just got Mac OS 10.5 for the MacPro, which means I need
to prepare it so I can then install leapard and use Timemachine.
I have an Icecube 3.5" enclosure USB/Fire with a 19 GB HD ( 5 GB
free)
ought I -
a. continue backing up to DVD using Backup
b. purchase a large 2nd HD to go into the Icecube casing for use by
time machine.
500Gb hard drive is less than 50 cents a giga byte ,
Seagate $135
Western Digital ` $110
The new Western Digital Studio II is a 1Tb External unit with triple
interface (Firewire 400, 800 and USB 2.0). This unit is an enclosure
containing 2 x hot-swappable 500Gb drives striped (RAID 0) or mirrored
(RAID 1).
Contact me for more details. These things are so new they haven't even
reached my supplier yet, but they are expecting to see the first ones
either today or early next week.
