Just bought a Maxtor OneTouch 250GB Ext HDD - PC/Mac/USB 1&2/Firewire with Retrospect software which seems to permit scheduled backups in plain or encrypted (I prefer plain so I can easily see what's there) Son has one for his Mac graphic overflow.
Appears to be a good bit of kit although not quite pocket size;)
I've successfully backed up a desktop & laptop to it and leave it connected to the desktop for a scheduled daily backup.
One slight general prob which could, I guess happen to any drive: I've got a folder which appears in Explorer but which returns " . . refers to a location that is unavailable . . " when I try to delete it. Seem to recollect that this indicates a difference between it's real location (or existence) and the reference to it in the registry. It isn't a great problem but I'd rather delete it. Any ideas??
