Now I was just looking for a new disc. Why do you recomend use the new disc for the Time Machine back up?, in my latest disc purchases I've always used the new disc as the working photo library and I used the "old" for Time Machine. My actual configuration is a Western Digital of 1,5 Tb as photo library, busy 50%, a Lacie 1Tb for Time Machine with the entire backup of my computer , on my Hard drive of the Mac I have only used 60 GB of 300 where I keep applications and other things. The WD unit is very slow and maybe I was considering go to a Firewire unit for the photo library and use the WD for Time Machine, and as you do, once formated, do an extra backup in the repared Lacie unit. Do you think I'm correct? But even so I've found non expensive external storage that I think better than have two extra copies to avoid some risc that could happen at home, I found this quite interesting: http://www.livedrive.com/ForHome/Briefcase Thank you very much again, cheers Lluis El 19/11/2011, a las 3:20, Philip Leeson escribi?: > Why not just get a new hard drive; run Time Machine and use the new > disc for backup? > Won't you then have a current backup of your entire computer? > If there are old items and you can access them on the old drive; > copy them to your computer, then as Time Machine runs, it will back > up to the new disc. > I use time machine, but also copy my photo library (and iTunes) > manually to a couple of extra hard drives as well. > > Phil > > > On Nov 18, 2011, at 5:20 PM, Lluis Ripoll wrote: > >> Dennis, >> >> Thank you but after disc verification it tells me an error and >> don't allow start reparation, >> >> cheers >> Lluis >> >> El 19/11/2011, a las 0:07, Dennis escribi?: >> >>> Hi Lluis, >>> >>> Try running disk utility multiple times.
