[DM-MUG] Question on Backup Scheme

[Alan Maupin]

CW - Thanks for the tip on Superduper!

I've setup Carbon Copy Cloner and it is working as intended.  Every 24
hours it looks at drive one and replicates new or deleted files on
drive two.   I'm wondering if this is the most efficient method for
achieving my purpose?
