10.5: Make a bootable Time Machine backup drive
Authored by: reidjazz on Thu, Jan 24 2008 at 10:05AM PST

I've been using SuperDuper! for about a year now, doing a nightly, bootable clone of my main internal drive to another internal drive. I also have my machine wake up every morning at 3am, let the UNIX routines do their thing, then via an Applescript, backup my critical files to one of a series of 14 DVDs (2 week rotation) so that I've got a 2 week span to go back to, if needed.

Works for me.
