Greetings, all. Recently on this list there was some complaining that .Mac Backup v1.2.3 removed the ability to save to FireWire CD-RW or DVD drives. I just wanted to point out that the Public Beta of .Mac Backup 2 has the ability to back up to FireWire drives (hard and optical), iPods, iDisk. My list is probably not exhaustive, so take a look at www.mac.com for details. Eagle
