John,

Thank you very much again, I’ve had not yet the time to read and download the trial version.  I have purchased a new external disc for my Time Machine Back Ups, once I have replaced the actual I will have the time to do some trials and see how can I have a second Back Up in other units.

I need some time…

CCC works by comparing what is on original drive and backup drive and copies anything from original to backup to make them the same, if something on original is deleted then so is the backup copy (there is an option to save it for a period of time).

I think that your advice would be the best and I would like download the trial version to verify how it works, even so I’m not sure about up to which point will be compatible with Time Machine. I’ve read the explanations and it looks to me that you use either Time Machine or Carbon Copy.

Any idea if this exists? I have asked an Apple dealer and said me that this doesn’t exist…
