I’ve never yet had a problem with regular .dmg files, MacPAR deLuxe, or Split & Concat. For the record, unless I have severe issues within the next couple weeks with upgraded graphics apps which require Tiger, these backups will never be used. There’s no room on my current tiny HDs to store another SandBox — can’t see spending the money for more ATA HDs, considering the forthcoming Mac Pro is all SATA. Then there’ll surely be room.
Frequent lightning storms and power outages here in the SouthEast force me to rely more on DVDs than HDs for storage/backups. A few weeks ago a friend lost his entire system — not to mention a kitchen and bathroom — to lightning. Of course we needn’t feel sorry for him — it was a PC.
What’s more, back in the day, two 9GB Seagate Baracudas went out on me in less than 24 hours. What a mess that was!
Already, at your suggestion via Support, a clone was made to my 250GB firewire — and, by-the-by, it works as a startup — just like to be safe and sure.
