Comment from Suzanne Giuriati Cerny
I'm all for getting a copy of the Joe Kissell book. Most of my important work besides a few documents are digital paintings. I have them duplicated on a few flashdrives, one external harddrive, and now...

That strikes me as a UI failure on Apple's part. Making the trash can both the way to get rid of files and the way to make discs eject was (is) just begging for trouble. It's not un-logical to think...

Yes! Not testing is one of the biggest mistakes. Those of us who believe we're so smart in our multiple backup plans need to occasionally try and access them. I discovered ALL my Time Machine Files had...

Unfortunately I have found that post-Snow Leopard Time Machine cannot be trusted at all. In the 10.6 days I was quickly able to use TM to recover from several MacBook drive failures within hours. But...

My strategy has saved my bum a number of times:1) Time Machine always runs and I check to make sure daily2) SuperDuper clone every night at 3 am after repair disk permissions (SD does this for you)3)...

In the Time Machine preference pane, click Options and exclude ~/Library/Mail. (However, if you do this, it's an excellent idea to back up your email in some other way.)

Is there a way to tell Time Machine not to back-up MacMail & the MacMail attachment folders?I keep getting trojan horses/viruses sent to my Macmail related account. They are caught by Sophos so I...

Excellent. Thanks for the kind endorsement! Can I quote you on that?

I use multiple backups based on your excellent book. I can't stress how important that book is. The three I've used the most often for recovery though are; manual backups, clones, Dropbox, and Time...

I was recently saved by a combination of a clone and a Time Machine backup. My system (on a one year old 17" iMac with a 1TB Fusion drive) went down hard. At first I thought is was a hardware failure,...

My friends have fun making fun of me but actually it really isn't all that extreme if you realize that the collection of drives wasn't all done at once but took a few years to accumulate. Finding a 1...

I suggest your strategy is inadequate by Joe's standards. You need at least a local clone of your system and all your data. Your photos in the cloud are subject to all sorts of problems - bandwidth...

In 1988 I went to Europe with a Mac SE and a 100MB ($2500 at the time) CMS external drive. I called CMS and was assured that all their power supplies were auto switching 120/220 VAC 60/50 cycle. Just...

Sounds very similar to what I do. I love those 2.5-inch, bus-powered hard drive. I have maybe half a dozen of them. They're handy for backups even at home, because they take up almost no space and...

That's pretty extreme even by my standards (which is saying something). Sounds pretty good!

Years ago my stupid backup strategy was to wait until I heard of a friend or colleague having a drive crash disaster and then said to myself, "I guess I should run a backup now."But for years now I...

Now for my backup regimen: I keep 5 backups (incremental) of my boot drive, two daily, done 12 hours apart. Two weekly done 3.5 days apart, and a monthly done the first Sunday of every month. I have a...

This is my backup regimen, but first some rules:1) Become anal retentive about backups. Don't worry, it'll happen naturally after your first catastrophic failure.2) Lose any resistance to good deals on...

This reminds me of an equally comical (though frustrating) experience I had while working in the college computer lab in the 80s. A student writing her senior thesis had continual problems with data...

Back in the day of floppy disks, I remember when BMUG (Berkeley Macintosh User's Group) suggested that you should have backups on 3 disks. The reasoning was that if you put the first disk in and it...
