[DM-MUG] FireWire drives

[Ray Bowler]

James,


Just daisy chain them computer to drive to drive. I never had a  
problem with that.

Your drives may come with a free backup program--Silver Keeper with  
LaCie drives.
For straight backup it is reasonably good. A better option would be  
Carbon Copy Cloner so that you have a bootable backup. It is donation  
ware .  My favorite is SuperDuper from ShirtPocket.  Cost is 27.95 at <www.shirt-pocket.com/ 
 >.

We are planning a session on backup at the March Meeting.
