All this talk about TC and TM got me thinking, what should I be really backing up and what should I skip? (For me, I have a 500 GB drive pretty full with another internal, so I have made the decision to eliminate certain things that I could get back if something bad happens.)
Anyways, here is what I do not back-up:
Applications
Applications (Mac OS 9) - Probably should delete this folder but always worried if I did something would "break"
Document Folders for everyone else in the family (since they have their copies via Foldershare)
FCE Documents (always can go back to the original tape)
Games
Microsoft User Data (why?)
Music (figure it is on the iPhone)
SW (not even sure what this file is for)
System Files and Applications
System Folder (from old Mac) - I probably could delete this one also, right?
So basically backing up most of my User folder.
Now that I got a job, I can buy more Apple products!
