[DM-MUG] Fwd: Dr. Mac's Guide to Backing Up Your Mac -- The Mac Observer

[Victoria L. Herring]

That sounds good = my problem is that I have almost too many choices, 
but that is because I have varying needs

1.  My G5 is SmartCloned each night to an external FW drive
2.  I use Backup to do the ADdressBook and iCal thing etc.
3.  I have Aperture on my 2nd G5 drive [Seagate 500] and 'save' the 
vaults to a WiebeTech two tray [250G each] Silver SATA so I can when 
the lst tray is full, move it out to archival storage and replace it 
with another 250G or 500G drive/tray....
4.  I have my iTunes Music Library on an external drive and it's 
about 43G and I need to decide whether to clone or copy that as well, 
although I have at times burned disks of the purchased items. 
Reimporting my CD collection would be a royal pain.
5.  I have photos also scattered around = I'm trying to discipline 
myself to putting them all in Aperture Libraries and working off or 
saving them but haven't been able to do that yet...

Right now I have too many options going on and would like to 
streamline things and limit the number of external FW drives that I 
use, but that's not something I've figured out yet.
