Q: I need help choosing the 'right' backup drive(s)
I have a MacBook Pro on which I do mainly video editing. I make DVDs of my family and real estate stuff which I then want to offload from the laptop to my external hard drive. For the purpose of backing up this laptop, I will probably run the backup on an adhoc basis (after I complete a video editing process). By the way I use iMovie 09.
Now, I also have a MacG5 which contains work data (mainly pdfs of contracts for real estate, etc). On this machine, I wish to do a somewhat regular backup. Please excuse information I am leaving out - - this is where you folks can help me.
My question(s) are:
- Should I buy two separate backup devices to be more efficient?
- Are there any brands or specifications I should consider over others (Firewire vs USB)?
I am a novice in this domain and any suggestions or clarification are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
MacBook Pro
