[Ham-Mac] backup options

[Ted Turk]

Harris,

I use a Crossfire Smartdisk via Firewire.  Worked OK once I was told I 
needed to reformat it for Mac OS X.  (Mine came formatted for Windows 
and wouldn't take certain file types).  Can now mirror all important 
files including MLDX logbook.  Address Book's backup/restore works fine 
with it for example.  Even in our cool English climate, it runs fairly 
warm, so I only power it up for backups.

73,
