A. I meant 100 GB.
B. Wen I got the iMac it had some issues. So I did the wipe and install thing from the CD’s. There were still some issues and I wanted to document the install so I did it again. So after 5 hours of work I have the procedure documented and everything is perfect. Now I want to preserve the base install so I can get it back later if I need it.
C. What is simpler about backing up to an external hard drive. It’s got to be slower. I am not concerned with backing up the user data. For that I will back up to a CD or DVD. I am concerned with backing up the OS. Preferably in something like 30 minutes so I can do it daily.
