Clueless newbie follow-on question
I'm about to switch over from a PC to an iMac. I have a practical question about time machine...
Currently, my ultra-paranoid backup strategy (on my PC) is to use two identical external USB drives. One lives at home; one lives at work (for potential disaster recovery).
I backup my files the entire month. At the end of the month, I disconnect which ever drive I have at home, take it to work, bring the work drive home, connect it, then use that drive for the next month's worth of backup.
What I like about this approach, is that maximum amount of data at risk (ever) is 30 days.
So my question is, will time machine and two external drives support this approach? Will time machine happily let me swap external drives monthly?
I mean having a local backup drive is all fine and good... unless your house burns down (don't laugh, I live in Southern California - about 1,000 folks found out first hand how real that concern should be for everyone).
Thanks in advance.
