CCC can archive old stuff. As well, it is a more flexible tool. I've never asked for support on either one, but Mike Bombich's (CCC) web site is far more informative - lots of good info there. > At what frequency are the incrementals reasonably applied? (daily?) One can never have too many backups. I do them daily, and then for things that require a lot of work, several times a day. I am not (currently, anyway) using time machine. > Anyone using B-Ray burners on a Mac? Comments? I like DVD-RAM. Great defect management, does reads after writes, etc. The only problem now is they seem to be going the way of the floppy disk, M/O, etc. Panasonic will no longer sell me media - they haven't said so, but I'm guessing they're no longer making them. They stopped doing the drives a few years ago. With plain optical media, I always make two copies.....
