Thanks, Mike. That's what I was thinking as well. Of course, you can schedule carbon copy to backup daily, I suppose. I haven't looked at its scheduling options as of yet. When I was using windows, I used to backup using image for windows weekly, but not much more than that. Occasionally, I would do a backup before installing some piece of software which I thought might mess up my computer; but mostly backed up each saturday. The only thing I miss, and I'm not sure carbon copy can do this, is that I used to keep at least one backup from the previous week; so I always had two; the one from the previous week and the one from the current week. I know they have that archiving thing, but I'm not exactly sure how that works. It doesn't sound like it allows for keeping two backups then allowing you to pick which one to restore from.
