jwz: Classic backup advice
Merlin Mann | Jan 21 2008
This forum question about a comment I made on the most recent MacBreak Weekly reminds me that I mention jwz's advice on backup often enough that it's worth reposting the URL (as well as making sure credit goes where it's due). On the one hand, his advice could hardly be simpler (that's one reason I like it), but how many of us have taken the time to put a mature backup regime in place? If you value your data, can't tolerate downtime, and are casting about for a thorough solution, consider giving this a try.

 One more tweak neededSubmitted by philip.sternberg on January 22, 2008 - 11:26pm.
I set up such a system when this was first linked from 43folders, but it didn't do the auto-magical thing. I realized that my system was set to put hard drives to sleep whenever possible, which I think is the default in OS X. With the box unchecked I get backups every night without thinking about it. » POSTED IN:
