SuperDuper, Time Machine and Bulletproof Backups
My advice for a good backup strategy? Keep it simple. Keep it safe. Don’t stress the details.

A backup plan is only as good as its followthrough - which is why Time Machine is so epic. It backs up every hour for you. You don’t even know it’s running but you hear the hard drive spinning, and watch your system slow down for a few minutes.
