i have an 80GB firewire hard drive. using Retrospect Express, my PowerBook performs a backup every night at 11PM if the drive is attached... which tends to be about 3 times a week. it's a great backup solution given the following conveniences -- i don't have to be there. i don't have to swap zips if it needs to backup more than 100MB (which is semi-common for me). it also backs up EVERYTHING. no picking and choosing, no wondering if i could do without a file. the first backup takes a bit, but after that Retrospect only backs up new files and files that have changed. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
