I make simple tar-based backups of my home directory every two hours via a cron job, but I've been without whole-disk backups for a while now because SuperDuper! has been out of action. It's good to have it back!

While I would certainly love one of these machines, I'll probably be sticking with the trusty old first-gen Intel iMac for a while yet.
