Since I'm interested in Casper as a tool to help me back up my iTunes to an external hard drive, can you tell me alittle more about it, or point me to a websource you like?

In the end it's up to the individual to decide what's best for him/her. Jonathan brings up some good points and I agree with his reasons and I also use iTunes as my main backup source. Yes, the risk of my hard drive crashing will make that a waste, but life is all about decision making and risks. Recently I was helping out a consumer choosing between online backup solutions with companies like Carbonite and/or Mozy VS home backups like with Casper and a second internal or external hard drive. In the end she ended up going with the Casper solution and a second drive because the quick and ease and easy access of getting a lost file ore recovering from a crashed hard drive was more important to her than the superior reliability and the need to trust an online company like Carbonite to keep your data safe. Not only that, but her computer skills are such that navigating the Carbonite interface was problematic for her whereas using the Casper solution was very easy and she could understand it better. She purchased an external AC powered Western Digital 2 tb hard drive and we have Casper set up so when she connects it to the pc, it automatically runs, performs the backup, and safely removes the drive from the operating system. Then when it's done, she puts it away in a fireproof safe which she has. She's a lawyer and keeping control of her documents is key to her. So, while online backup methods have their merits, so do home solutions. -- Raul A.
