Dear Lazyweb,<\/p>\n
Is the best way to backup Mac OS X Leopard, Time Machine? Will it give me full, reliable restores, in case all goes to hell?<\/p>\n
On Linux, I use rdiff-backup<\/a>, which is a phenomenal tool, that is quick and easy to use from the command line. Its restores are proven (even across Linux distributions). Do I need to bother with it on OS X?<\/p>\n Is Time Machine space efficient? My Macbook comes with a 250GB hard disk, and the largest 2.5″ disk I can buy is a 320GB disk, and that’s currently what I use for Time Machine backups (no, I will not carry a 3.5″ disk for backups – I travel a lot).<\/p>\n Thanks<\/p>\n Technorati Tags: lazyweb<\/a>, backups<\/a>, time machine<\/a>, macosx<\/a>, leopard<\/a>, rdiff-backup<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Lazyweb, Is the best way to backup Mac OS X Leopard, Time Machine?
