![]() Refuse to pay for anything that I consider to be intrisically necessary to use of product. I would like to upgrade to El Capitan and would like to back up my my ENTIRE mac book pro. I have an External Hard drive which is 1TB and has about 200 GB of saved data from my Mac Book pro and other files. It even includes an SD card reader slot and can function as a USB power bank to recharge your iPhone or iPad. I have NEVER done a Time Machine backup first. There are both wireless Mac compatible hard drive and SSD solid-state versions available. Wondering if Snow Leopard/Disk Utility has any improvements on this score. I have a 5 year old 250 GB Mac Book Pro running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. Takes a great deal of time and some things need fixing after completion. I have not figured out how to get Leopard restored short of format, then complete (re)install with Time Machine restore kicking in at the end of that process. BKF but think it requires an OS - unlike Vista + Windows 7 where the install Disk will retore from External in ~30 minutes. BKF string of the hard drive, runs maybe a little slower than Vista & Windows 7 Backup/Restore Maint. Also available from Microsoft if no install CD. On Windows side, is Vista, W7 (32 &64Bit) and recently my daughter's HP Laptop XP which posed a problem until I found that NtBackup.Msi was in VALUEADD folder on the Windows XP install CD. Setup on my Acomdata 7200rpm External is Mac 150GB HFS, Windows 150GB NTFS. If you're going to use the drive on both platforms, does it need to be set up first on the PC, allocating 1/2? to Windows NTFS format, then disable/reset/delete Time Machine backups doing the Mac HFS format thing on remainder of External?
