10.5: Ease restore from Time Machine
Authored by: kbradnam on Oct 26, '07 11:15:33AM

I use SuperDuper to make two sets of backups. One is a nightly backup which makes the backup an exact copy, so this will delete files from the backup if necessary.

I also backup to a second partition using the 'Copy Newer Files' option. This only ever adds to the backup, and can actually quickly take up a lot of space if there are lots of large temporary files that you only ever work with for a day or two. But this backup helps if you delete a file and don't realize for a day or two. This is an inelegant backup strategy to say the least, so I'm hopeful that Time Machine will make this part of my backup strategy redundant.
