Since I have my whole life on my Mac these days, I back up to multiple HD's, plus CD or DVD and iDisk (for smaller stuff). <BR/><BR/>I probably spent about £1500 on backup stuff since May 2005, when I suffered a massive double computer failure on the same day - one Mac suffered a corrupted catalogue because I'd been over-filled the HD (where in the manual does it tell you you should leave 15% of your HD free? I'd have done it if they'd only <I>told </I>me) and the other was suffering from dodgy upgrade processors which picked <I>that day </I>to go belly-up after working fine for a year.<BR/><BR/>I had got backups of everything except that morning's work, but in some cases I really had to dig old CDs out of the back of cupboards to find stuff - a couple of important files were only to be found in a pile of CDs I'd marked for chucking out but not got round to.<BR/><BR/>God bless iSync Backup and .Mac, which allowed me to restore all my System, application and mail preferences in less than an hour. I even got my Safari bookmarks back.<BR/><BR/>If you're backing up to CD/DVD, make multiple copies of important stuff - I nearly lost an original page of Scarlet Traces because the CD it was stored on had begun to degrade.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982284633069836213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29485212.post-1156841105232626452006-08-29T09:45:00.000+01:002006-08-29T09:45:00.000+01:00Toast was fantastic.
