SuperDuper

You want to back up. You could go done the clone your hard drive to an external to make it bootable you can use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. To make a quick & dirty photo backup then mount you external onto your desktop and just drag the photos to that other drive. When you do the dragging (while leaving the Finder window still open) a little + sign will go over...

One nice thing which I have had the occasion to try out after I decided to frel my volume trying something cute is with SuperDuper you can simply boot off the clone and then simple erase and restore with a click or two and your main drive is back, happy, and bootable. ...

I only quote the magNIfIcent. --J.D.

external drive you can clone to using utilities like Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper or ChronoSync. ...

Nope, not unless you want to remove unwanted languages or printer drivers. There is no "bloatware" in OS X, and even if they were, OS X and Windows differ in that department -- the amount of applications you have installed on your hard drive does not affect the stability nor the speed of OS X (with certain exceptions). Yes, but you also have the option of "cloning" your...

Second recommendation for SuperDuper!. You can schedule the back ups, do "smart" backups where it only updates the changes, and, most important, it makes a bootable clone of your HD which, I believe, Time Machine will not actually do. This is helpful when your Int HD dies, because you can then boot and use your computer off of your Ex-HD while you shop around for a new one....

I use SuperDuper! Haven't had any problems using it with 10.4.11 and 10.5.6.

If you are able to boot from an external drive, I think your computer is okay, you may have frelled your volume. Having done that myself recently . . . which comes the horrible question no one wants: "you backed up your data, right?" If you did, consider a clean reinstall, then reload your account from your Ex-HD. If it is "cloned" you can just go from Ex-HD to your...

So it won't back up the Firewire hard drive. An alternative solution would be to use a product like SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner which can be set up to do incremental backups of any specified volumes (for two volumes – your Boot volume and your Firewire volume – you would set up two scripts). Note that SuperDuper can clone your Boot Volume to the same volume as your Time...
