Backup guide to OS X (what is your best advice and app)?

Still a confirmed SuperDuper user here. 2.0 is GREAT. Well worth the tiny fee to unlock all the extra features and I've rarely dealt with a developer that is so on top of things and cordial!

Does anyone use Apples Backup?

I am a big fan of SuperDuper and I'm going to put in another plug for the Wiebetech ComboDock - which allows you to use bare hard drives for backup (or whatever).

If you don't have the ability to store your backup offsite, I recommend a small fireproof safe. They are available from Staples starting at $30. These type are a small chest style, not for long 10-12 hour blazes but will do for most small fires.

I've got an IOGear drive and it fits inside my small safe.

Hope this helps,

Yes. very nice application, easy to use etc.

I use SuperDuper to clone my iMac and PB about once a week. I use Backup on a daily basis to make incremental backups of my working documents, address book, Mail etc. It does this every day at 5PM.
