I had always wondered how reasonable it would be to do some kind of
backup co-op. For example, if I could figure out how to share a drive on
the internet for somebody else and they did the same for me, I could
backup my stuff to their drive and vice versa. As a co-op neither of us
would pay the other anything as it would be a symbiotic solution. Of
course there is a level of trust involved that they aren't going to do
anything bad with your files so I guess it would have to be somebody you
know. I know you can use the back to my mac to reach another Mac over
the internet but can you set up shares and such that another user's time
machine could use?

I've not had to use it personally must confess, however, the interface
is available via the site and they do have telephone tech support that
Drop Box does not.

Neil, please tell us how accessible the Carbonite website interface
is in terms of versioning. I am currently using dropbox and their
versioning is difficult at best. I would consider switching to
Carbonite if it is a better user experience. Thanks for anything you
can tell us.

I like these, however, you've missed cloud solutions such as
Carbonite, who I especially like. They are fully automated, need no
baby sitting, and, are both off site and continuous.
Carbonite also allows for versioning, so if like me, once upon a
time you saved over the top of hours worth of work, no problem,
Carbonite keeps versions of all files you create for up to, I
believe three months.

Hello,
Here is a basic strategy with increasing levels of commitment to
your time.
1. The Absolute Barest of Barest
Purchase an external drive that matches the capacity of your
internal drive and use either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to
perform a complete clone of the drive, making it a bootable volume.
If you do this weekly, you'll never lose more than a weeks worth of
work.
2. A reasonable Method
Use plan 1 and add a time machine backup. Either a time capsule, or
another attached drive. If you have a laptop, the time capsule is a
nice solution since you do not need to physically attach the drive.
This gives you archive abilities and reduces the potential loss
down to an hour's worth of work.
3. A Basic Plan
Use Plan 2 and add a second backup drive to your plan 1 rotation.
In other words, have two drives that you use for making a clone and
use the first drive on odd number weeks and the second on even
numbered weeks. Keep one of those drives in a different physical
location. Thus helping you in case of meteor strikes or a black
hole opening up in your house.
Time machine is fantastic, but it's not enough. I've seen too many
time machine backups fail when it's been needed after a disaster.
That is why I think it is critical to have a cloned bootable drive
of your main system. What is nice about using an app like carbon
copy cloner, is that after making the backup, it will tell you if
there are files that it had trouble reading. This is a great
indicator of the health of your data.
Best,
--k
Faith doesn't give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking
the questions.

Can I get a basic strategy to use for backups? I will use a USB
3.0 500gig external drive. After I start doing this, I will get
closer to upgrading to Mavericks. I created the bootable USB drive
for that today.
I do not plan on cloud backups at least not for a while. Thanks.

. . . what if it were true?
