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

[Darcy Baston]

I hate losing time to a computer, which is why I have a Mac, and why  
my daily backups are always a full exact clone. That way when  
something goes, I reboot on the backup media and I'm back where I  
was. For me it's not about uptime, it's about human time. :)

Since we are sharing backup strategies, here's mine:

I do not back up the System or Applications folders, just my User
folder and various detachable media such as a USB flash drive and a
small external hard drive.  My reasoning is I can re-install the OS
and applications from discs or downloads.  Because this is my home
system, time to restore is not as critical as it would be for a
business or production system.
