Buy Carbon Copy Cloner and simply schedule the backups to automatically back-up at a given time of day, etc.

Thanks,
I thought that Carbon copy make an excat copy of the HDD by copy everything, so everytime have to rewrite old data by new ones, isn't ike that?
Or can just find modifications made after last backup and copy just that part?
2TB HDD takes a lot of time, so obviously I do not want to copy everytng everytime.
Thanks.
Not quite the way it works... when you first create a clone using CCC, everything is cloned. Subsequent clones, though, only write and/or erase the data that has been changed since the last clone. So it doesn't copy everything all over again, just that which has changed since the last clone.
I use CCC to make clones of my internal drive and to clone my 2TB 'working' drive. After the initial clone, it's usually only a matter of 15-20 minutes to update the data. Unlike Time Machine, CCC simply creates exact copies of your drives and it's just one part of my backup schemes. I rotate 5 drives for my internal and just keep my working drive and my clone of it synchronized.

You're welcome - I believe that CCC has a 30-day free trial so you can experiment until it's time to actually purchase the product.
