Save Gas and Work from Home, Part 1

freeloader 20070913 212511 Save Gas and Work from Home, Part 1Among all the methods out there to save gas, one is sure to actually
help – staying home. You’d think with the tremendous technology and
networks we have that location shouldn’t mean much, right?

I agree, and in this Freeloader episode we’ll look at a handful of
free applications that will help you justify your work-at-home
strategy. In Part 1 we’ll cover the poor corporate saps that work on
or with Windows machines.

If that’s not you, be grateful and hang in there for Part 2 that will
address Mac-only workplaces. If it is you, then pull up a chair. You
may be surprised by what you can do from home on a Mac in the world of
Windows.

Backup.app is for backing up files in your Home folder only

With Leopard’s release imminent, and Time Machine coming with it, this AppleCare Support Document titled “.Mac: Backup intended for backing up files in your Home folder, but not your entire startup disk” seems to cast doubt on the abilities of Apple’s current backup solution: Backup.app.

The document covers activities for which Backup.app is and isn’t intended. The “is intended” list includes the stuff in your home folder or some external (non-bootable) drive. In the “not intended” column you’ll find your entire Startup Disk and files in someone else’s Home folder.

Will Time Machine cover more that Backup.app? It is highly unlikely (read “impossible”) that Time Machine will create bootable backups. It is also unlikely that Time Machine’s backup strategy will extend much further beyond the lines of “your stuff.”

So what do you do if you do want a bootable backup of your entire startup drive? That’s easy… and rather inexpensive too. Check out this article.
