Backing up?
I have an iMac and at the moment when I'm backing up I copy my files that I want to back up into a folder on my external hard drive. Then I delete the old backup files (from the external). however this means that my Ext. drive needs to be twice as big as what I'm backing up. (does that make sence?) (also it takes about an hour and a half to do!
What I'm looking for is a programe that will auto back up and replace any files that have been altered and leave the rest. Does anyone have a similar set up and what program have you used? Kind Regards, Davy PS: I have done a search on here for previous threads, but couldn't really find anything.

Re: Backing up?
Superduper
I use this to backup my MacBook drive to my external drive. I have a 120gb drive in my MacBook, I have a similar partition on my External drive. Every week or so, I plug in my external drive, and "sync" it. There's an option to "smart backup" I think, where it analyzes both drives first and then only copies the files that have changed or are new. That's what I use.

Re: Backing up?
2nd SuperDuper great application.
I use a Western Digital Passport external USB drive on my MacBook and use SuperDuper to dump the complete drive over to the external. I also use SuperDuper to make a disc image of my drive that I then copy over FireWire to my Western Digital 1TB drive set as a 500GB Mirror.
