you don't have to lug a hard drive for time machine. new with lion are local time machine snapshots, which takes snapshots to your internal hard drive when the backup drive is offline, such as when you're not home. it's not intended to be a backup since it's the same drive but it does let you recover older files if needed.SavageduckSavageduckSandman
Full backup of the MBP HDD is a separate issue an is dealt with by Superduper. My desktop Mac is backed up with TimeMachine
How come you don't use Time Machine on your MBP? SuperDuper is nice, but Time Machine is incremental, which sounds like a better choice, no?
The MBP is meant to give me a degree of portability and lugging a HDD farm around adds a burden to that portability. One OWC FW800 Mercury drive doesn't take up too much space. TimeMachine is a consideration, but the way I use my MBP would make it less than efficient or perhaps a little less practical.
BTW: Superduper does incremental saves.it does incremental clones, which means copying only the changed files. what you end up with is a full clone of your drive as it stands when you run superduper, it just doesn't take as long as copying the entire drive each time.
