I'd been thinking about getting Leopard for my macbook. Now, not so much. Ironically, one of the attractions is the new backup/recovery capabilities. And my geekery consists mainly of restarting when things don't work right. If <b>you</b> had trouble, I'd be screwed, and the meltdown would likely extend to my brain, rendering me permanently fried.

I always want a backup of the backup, in a perfect world. When things are so damn big now (multimedia, etc.) it's not as easy to depend on optical media. I'm oldskool and love digital tape--it's cheap media and you can have multiple copies in several locations. It's just that the demand in the consumer market is near zero for a unidirectional backup/recover solution (ie, people can't "mount" tape and just drag a file to the desktop). As a result, the only gear avail. are built to the spec of enterprise, not personal backup needs, and cost thousands. All I can tell you is to baby and pamper that drive. Tell her it's the only one; it's just you and her, and lavish it with attention (regular verify scans, catching any small issues before they become big ones). When the time comes, dump her and upgrade. LOL! <em>(I kid, I kid...)</em> Zac: I hear ya man. I always want a backup of the backup, in a perfect world.

Have an external USB or firewire drive connected and copy you important data. You may get 20-45 minutes to copy important files. Though, this doesn't always work. Enrico,

I'm playing the waiting game at this point with my external hard drive... it's my only backup of all my data, and I know one of these days it's going to crap out on me. Then again, spending an extra $100 in the midst of all this debt is really hard to justify. Ay vey, I feel for you Enrico.
