    I am also wondering about the Time Capsule. My laptop is 100gb HD so I keep most of files on an external drive and have a back up for that drive too. I am trying to figure out the best way to keep my files organized and have 2 copies of all my files.

    • Use backup software so you can do scheduled incremental backups, and have a version history.ribit
    • You don't want 2 copies of everything, just one copy, and a backup made with a backup software (which is a single database)ribit
    • database file)ribit
    • or multiple files, but managed by the software (Time Machine, Retrospect, etc)ribit
    • right now, i use 500g WD exHD and have another 500g WD HD to mirror the first. I use chronosync for it.tkmeister
    • I am not sure that's the best way. I am also considering a remote back up just in case...tkmeister
