I have a 17" imac with a 160gig hard drive. The backup option keeps popping up and reminding me to back up. I'm really not keen on accumulating a stack of DVD backups, so I'm thinking I need to get an external drive.
I need suggestions. I would assume firewire is preferable. As far as size - I guess if I'm backing it up I want nearly the same size drive or slightly larger...should I buy a bigger hard drive in anticipation of Time Machine? Any brands to focus on or avoid?
I have another PC that currently is mostly just games...is it possible or practical to partition the external drive and back up a PC on half of it? I probably won't do that but was just curious if it worked.
