I have been having slow performance and software issues. Several software are either moving soooooooo slow or i have to restart the computer because it won't function. I am thinking about just reinstalling OS X, but at the same time, I get worried with all the music and photo files I have...how can I save them in terms of leaving them on there? backing up? will that assure that they will remain? and how do u back up files?
Please let me know who ever has done this. I appreciate any advice. Thank you so much. |

Powerbook? OS flavour? RAM? Drive size? space left?…

Good question! PC users have loads of options for this purpose and us mac users have CCC (Carbon copy cloner) but CCC doesn't make a 1:1 copy as it is file based, not drive based.
What to do?!? I want to make a 1:1 copy of a drive or partition that includes authorisation information and other data of low level system importance. I'm thinking of retrospect myself, not sure though. Sugestions anyone?
