What tool are you using to back it up? Precisely what have you set your tool up to do? (Edit:)What is it doing that's unexpected? Etc. Last edited by artie505; 12/02/10 12:45 AM.

No matter what backup utility you use, you have to back up to some other media such as another hard drive, MobileMe, memory sticks, or optical discs (CD/DVD). So the answer to your is a YES qualified by which particular backup device option you choose. Backing up to the same volume or drive is relatively pointless as you will most likely need the a backup in the event the volume gets trashed or the drive fails this destroying both the original and backup at the same time. Time Machine assumes the use of a second hard drive. Last edited by joemikeb; 12/06/10 04:36 PM. If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it? — Albert Einstein
