I always create an exact backup every time I upgrade to a new OS. I am a big fan of Time Machine over others as it works seamlessly and I don’t have to think about what gets backed up. Great tip!

Although i don't know well about mac os, and i need to learn more about it, as a mac user, i know this <a href="http://www.aimersoft.com/dvd-ripper-for-mac.html" rel="nofollow">Mac DVD Ripper</a> is good to use.

(I use both.) If your harddisk dies and you have only Time Machine backups... you will not be happy with what comes next: buying a new disk, installing OS X, asking OS X to do a Time Machine restore, manually restoring your machine's personal preferences. (Granted that you have an idea of what to do.) With SuperDuper, you simply boot off your SD disk, either via USB/Firewire or by swapping out the harddisk. Afterwards, it's as if nothing has changed.

Most people prefer SD, but for more technical reasons. CCC does sound like a good product. Thanks for bringing that option to my attention. I am trying to sell something here: backing up your Mac so you don't end up sorry and not pro-actively fixing things that aren't broken. How far you go with that and the results you achieve are completely up to you. Ben Gabriele,

Time Machine asks time once at the beginning then keeps backing up your system in background every hour so when the elephant has finished the restore will be done you will lose last hour data at most. Moreover the free trial doesn't feature as may option as Carbon Copy Cloner does (donationware) Are you trying to sell something here ? Avoiding OS X Problems - Backup Before Problems Start:
