My experience is that this works only for internal drives. When I try
it with FireWire drives I get a "not-supported" statement for SMART
status.

Yup. Disk Utility can't get at the SMART info for drives embedded in external cases. I'm not sure anything can.

CC or not

Hi Guys:
First off, I hope Dan is having a good vacation in Chocolate heaven!
Before Lion, I was doing a backup on Carbon Copy (once a day) and on Time Machine (every hour, or something). Since Lion, I have only been doing the daily CC.
With the new Time Machine in Lion, is this sufficient for safety and am I able to boot from it? Is it an overkill to do both CC and TM? I am hoping do have two drives; one that does the backups by Time Machine on a regular interval during the day, and another drive that I will switch on a weekly/monthly basis (maybe that is an over kill too?).
Your assistance is valuable. Thanks

If you forward any correspondence, as a courtesy, please delete all forwarding history - which includes all email addresses and names in the email that you received. Please use BCC (blind copy) area instead of TO area when forwarding to more than one person.

If you are not making TM backups under Lion, then you cannot boot from TM.
> Is it an overkill to do both CC and TM?
Making a TM backup and a CCC backup is more protective than making either one alone. You have to decide for yourself about the risk level you are comfortable with.

You do not state what the purpose of the one-a week/month drive it.

Mon Mar 12, 2012 12:50 pm (PDT)
A question of risk and risk tolerance. Such questions get complicated fast.
For instance, I am concerned primarily with preservation of data and not system configuration. If a drive fails, I will rebuild from scratch, reconfigure and then restore data. I care most about retrieval of data, not of my system. While Time Machine gives me this, it is not ideally configured for that particular risk.
Time Machine emphasizes the ability to search and retrieve historic data or restore to a specific historic state. This is great. But it is time limited by the size of your backup drive so it only goes back so far, and it can't realistically be "archived." Don't expect to retrieve 5 year old files. It is also fussy about Users, which is a complication I don't necessarily want. You can only read a Time Machine backup on the machine that made it or by restoring to a rebuilt User (using Migration Assistant) to a matching system. That means I can't recover data using a Windows machine or an older Mac.
You can't boot from a Time Machine drive if you primary drive fails. You CAN do this from a bootable image (made by CCC or Super Duper) putting you back in business in minutes rather than hours.
Time Machine can't be "put on the shelf" for a few years with any realistic hope of being able to open it several versions of the OS later.
You can't easily rotate two Time Machine backups in order to keep one backup "off-site," a standard routine in high risk situations.
So, my opinion is "no" this is not overkill. I consider Time Machine the minimum routine because it is soooooo easy. It is not complete protection at all.
Cheers,
tod

Yes, but not after a year and now with incorrect information. That is a phishing expedition.

So, who could possibly have the information and be phishing? How could they have obtained data from Apple to do the phishing? I'm really curious.

Yahbut, I've been a member of this list for a long time. The only requests for follow ups purportedly from Apple have come after I had a contact with Apple for a problem, and I didn't discuss it here.
I agree that I wouldn't have responded to the survey email query the OP received, but I don't agree that it was phishing, unless the OP posted all over the web about the problem AND referred to the Apple contact.

I'm guessing the info in the email was bogus. That's the way these generally work. The info has the appearance of personal info, but is not actually unique or private. The OP points out they had not contacted Apple for about a year. I suspect the call number, rep name, etc... are all made up.
Bank phishing works this way. All the spammer needs to do is know what your banks email would look like if it were being sent to you. Strip out or fake anything unique to a specific person and change the links. It only works on those who might actually be expecting such an email. To everyone else, it's obviously garbage. But it only needs to look real to a very small subset of people to be worth sending.

Who, scum sucking jerks, is who.
You're asking the wrong question. Their phishing with a shotgun in a barrel of fish. The question is how.
They chum, sent it out every e-ddress they can get their grubby paws on, and then see if they find any suckers.
Their positive responses are about 2 per thousand, and then they probably find one sucker per 2 or 3 hundred responses. When it costs them almost nothing per prospect, and take up no incremental time, they end up making money.
Do they aim at a target prospect? No. That's why they use a shotgun method.
That's how phishing works.

"public discussion list dedicated to Apple issues" is only one possible source.
You mean to say you haven't gotten an email telling you to update your log in info to a financial institution that does not even operate in your region? Or one that looks like it did come from your bank?
You're thinking like a citizen, not like a crook.

Sometimes it is from financial institutions that don't even operate in your region.
I'm on the West Coast and have gotten ones supposedly about my account for an institution that doesn't even have a branch on this side of the Mississippi.
Even if I got one supposedly from bank, I don't use any link in the email. I open a browser and either use one of my existing bookmarks or I type in the URL, (not copy & paste, type).
If it doesn't make sense or is too good to be true, it is fake.
I have called my bank several times and complained that they are creating bad habits with their customers, when they send out stupid emails requesting people to use links.

If you plan to watch high-quality and high-definition video on the iPad, you should get the new iPad3. It has the retina display screen, which is a major improvement over the screen on the iPad2.

import list into Reminders app?

I've just recently discovered the Reminders app, and it is neat to be able to sync my to-to list between my MBP, iPhone and iPad.
But I have a long-standing task list of several dozen tasks, and dread the thought of adding them one at a time into Reminders. Is there a way of importing the whole text list?
Thanks!
Best,
Jim
