Re: [microsound] backup advice

[Acousmatic Records <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I was usign CarbonCopy Cloner for a while until I read that it 
doesnt keep metadata and some permissions acurate in the back-ups. I'll 
try and find the link but there was a fairly big discussion to which the 
end result was that SuperDuper was the best back-up to use. Its free if 
you want to do complete drive copies but if you require the incremental 
back-ups then you need to pay but its fairly cheap.

Cheers

Rob
