I hope I can ask this type of question here. If not my apologies....
I just recently switched to Mac from a PC. I have learned a lot by reading these newsgroups on how to best use my new Mac. One of the things I want to do is to be able to back up my Mac onto a 120GB firewire drive. I have the main 80gig drive installed. I also have an extra 40 gig drive for MP3's and misc. As well as a 120 gig drive for video and pictures. I would like to use CCC to back up these 3 physical drives to my firewire drive. I am not that familiar with Unix style commands and I am uneasy about using some of the documentation suggestions since I am just learning how to use both a Mac and CCC. I didn't know if anyone could offer just some basic guidelines to do this. Is this possible with CCC. After looking at the preferences within CCC, it did not seem apparent on how to accomplish this. I would like to have this happen on a weekly basis.
Thanks,
Mario
