I bought a firewire drive for the mac. I’m looking
for suggestions on backup software/strategies/etc
for os x.

I’d like to be able to create a snapshot of
the install. Bootable even better.

I can figure out data archiving myself, but
snapshoting I haven’t a clue whats needed.

I have about 30gigs of data (audio stuff)
to archive, and the rest to snapshot.
