As I said on the podcast, this looks like it may be something for me as well. And as you say, this seems to be the perfect backup solution for you given your needs. - DavidNZ Sat, 25 Apr 2009 08:49:08 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/hardware/voyager-q.html#comment-568 Thanks. As I mentioned about the scratch, I'm not fussed at all...but it did happen in the first few minutes, so someone buying something nice and shiny like the Voyager Q might find that disappointing. I didn't explain that the latch is silver coated plastic, so this is why the solver came off quickly. Re Entourage, any solution won't be an attempt at an incremental backup because of the issue that you and I mention. If I used a different backup system (at the moment I have just partitioned the HD and am dragging a backup of my M$ user profile onto it when I want to create a copy) it would have to be a full backup that completely copied a new version across onto the backup disk. - Philip Roy Sun, 19 Apr 2009 10:35:12 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/hardware/voyager-q.html#comment-567 The scratch thing was inevitable on account of the hard edges of the HDD cases. You've got to remember that HDDs were designed to sit in external casings or inside computers not be whipped in an out of a dock naked. Also, I'm not 100% confident you'll ever sort the Entourage thing unless other backup solutions do appending which I'm even less confident off because appending can be very risky. It's not Time Machine's fault or any other backup utility's fault that it will backup the entire database but Microsoft's fault for using a database for e-mail. Every other mail client will store e-mails as separate files which makes it easier (if not slower) for backing up. - Darryn Lowe Sun, 19 Apr 2009 09:46:03 +0100
