Bombich Software: Carbon Copy Cloner
-
Clone, synchronize, backup. Schedule and forget it. Try it 'til you trust it.
The key to a successful backup plan is to actually do the backups regularly. When left to a human, the task often gets tacked on to the end of a very long list of other things to do. When you eventually have a catastrophe, the data is simply gone. You know that feeling -- you just lost six years of family photos. Your kids being born, their first birthdays, their first everything. The answer to this is consistent and regular backups, placed on a schedule and handled automatically by your computer.
CCC 3 features an interface designed to make the cloning and backup procedure very intuitive. In addition to general backup, CCC can also clone one hard drive to another, copying every single block or file to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. CCC's block-level copy offers the absolute best fidelity in the industry!

What Do I Know - OS X Tip: Lock That Screen
The Mac equivalent of the Windows+L. Locking a Mac.
-
To my surprise, turns out OS X has native screen-locking built-in; though you wouldn't know unless you dug around. To enable it, open your Keychain Access utility in the Applications / Utility folder. Under the "View" menu at the top, select "Show Status in Menu Bar." A black padlock will appear in your taskbar in the upper right-hand corner. Close Keychain Access. Now when you click on the padlock, you have a "Lock Screen" option in the drop-down. Selecting it will cause your screen to fade to black and engage your screen saver. Click any key to open a login / password dialog box, and you're back in.
