Backup solutions

nilsemil · 5th July 2009

Hi.

#1. I've been using Retrospect 6.0 for windows XP for a long time as my backup program. I got it with a hard drive but that version is way too old to work on OS X. Can i use time machine as an ordinary backup program or do i need something similar to Retrospect?

#2. Im using an external rugged Lacie drive now in FAT32 so i can open Cubase projects on both xp and os x. It works fine, but will all information from the drive make it through the backup no matter on which platform im mirroring the drive?

#3. Can i use time machine so it starts every time i attach a certain drive (as a source drive) to then start backing up that drive?

I really like SuperDuper (for the Mac). Relatively inexpensive, easy
to use, and scriptable.

Can back up local and remote drives in an incremental fashion.
