That way you can always restore the system if you get kernel panic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wangerman Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Is it possible to save the backup on a NTFS partition ? I don't believe you can I am afraid can you format part of the drive to HFS+ ? I backup to an external usb with a HFS+ partition and the drive has a second NTFS partition which I use with windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_3500 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 I made a back up using r-drive (great program to use) the video card driver wouldn't let me update to 10.6.4 I have 2 of these updating topics, I'm trying to find a way to delete one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geiman Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Just an FYI; you should always be save with updates for things like iLife, AirPort Base Station updates, etc... The ones you need to watch out for are the point updates, ie... 10.6.3, 10.6.4 etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
