Backup your iDisk to CD using Apple's Backup
Authored by: dickg on Dec 23, '08 02:40:36PM

Tim, I've found that the ~/Library/Mirrors/xxxxx/myname.dmg takes up a lot of valuable space on my hard disk. So I dont' use "Auto-sync". In fact, I've found it easier to use an external disk drive and third-party software, like ProSoft's Data Backup utility. I can create a "clone" of my hard disk that allows me to restart from the clone, and then, if necessary, I can create a clone backup of it back onto an initialized internal disk drive. That's better protection than can be afforded by a .dmg file. It's a personal choice.
