TIA 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...

What are you G4 owners out there finding most convemient/useful for back up routines? TIA I have a G4 with a combo drive - I back up regularly to a couple of CD-RW disks which I swap. Occasionally I'll burn to CDs as a permanent record - very cheap these days. I also bought a USB Zip 250 drive which is OK but very slow. -- With best wishes, Roger Shufflebottom -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

TIA George Network storage is what I backup to, it's the cheapest option given that I already have the infrastructure in place. And if I don't have access to it and absolutely have to get it copied I can drop it to CD, if your wife gets the oh-so-beautiful 1GHz w/ superdrive... there's always DVD-R albeit an expensive option at $5 a disc for apple's media. -Andrew -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
