Shortly will be moving to Mac from XP, I have a backup question.
Currently my "Time Machine" services on XP are done semi-manually, I have an app that runs every night and copies key folders to an external hard drive and if anything unpleasant happens I can just manually restore from that. I also use the Amazon S3 service, which again once a day copies key folders to Amazons backup service so in the event of a complete disaster like theft or fire my data is still safe.
On Mac, obviously Time Machine provides a much slicker local backup and restore, however with regards to the external Amazon service, should I back up my "original" folders where my data is held , or just the Time Machine files which themselves contain the backups? Or would that be putting too many eggs in one TM basket?
