Reed Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 How is Dolly Drive? http://www.dollydrive.com/ Carbon Copy Cloner? http://www.bombich.com/ I do want to clone my two macs, but I want to keep a clone copy online somewhere other than home on an external HD. I think Dolly Drive provides storage and cloning. The cost of space at Dolly seems reasonable. Any thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 I have two Mac's. Tell me I'm ok here. I'll get two 1TB LaCie 2.0 USB Ext. drives and clone to them. They cost about $60 ea. My Macs have small drives compared to the new ones. After I clone, can I add additional files to the cloned drive that would exceed the original Mac's capacity should a restore ever be necessary? Then if I should ever need to restore I would removed the added files before restoring. I need to use the cloned drive for additional space. I hope I'm clear enough here. Thanks for looking.

fisherking Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 saw your other post. i've been using crashplan for over a year now; it runs invisibly in the background (i will pause it sometimes when i'm mixing; i only do midi here in logic, i do vocals elsewhere). it's been invaluable twice; i replace a crashed logic file with an earlier save, and a text file i somehow trashed (i guess). i only backup my home folder (and the logic app support folder).

Reed Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 fisherking, Thank you for the reply. I believe you have answered my question about being able to add and delete files from the cloned drive without hurting the cloned copy.
