[iBook] Re: Now What???

[Bart Hanson]

Hi,

Normally you only need to back up your data and settings, (the OS and  
applications can be reinstalled) if you have the installer CD's and  
serial numbers.

Free utilities exist like, RSyncX and rdiff-backup but you need  
command line skills.
Cheaper (and in some cases better) Synchronise Pro or SuperDuper.

A full bootable backup can be made with the excellent and free  
"Carbon Copy Cloner"
  There are many many choices for backup software, but it is best to  
first decide what you NEED to backup and base your choices on this.  
Some software requires a "blank" volume to copy to.

cheers,
Bart Hanson.
