MB - excellent point - I've used the sparsebundle option for my notebook when I travel, although the primary objective was to have my data encrypted without using Apple's home folder encryption model. For long trips I carry a backup drive so I can backup my notebook when crashplan can't communicate over the internet. Yes, I HATE losing data.
Crashplan does charge per seat, but if you only need daily backup the free version is really nice. I believe you can mix and match versions on various machines, although I've not tried that. I remember when the only decent Mac tool was Retrospect, today there are lots of excellent products. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Bill Schjelderup, President b...@companioncorp.com COMPanion Corporation 801-365-0555 voice 1831 Fort Union Blvd. 801-943-7752 fax Salt Lake City, Utah 84121-3041 www.companioncorp.com +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Nusquam est qui ubique est. - He who is everywhere is nowhere.
