Leopard Ebooks Help with Backups, Maintenance, and More

Ithaca, NY USA (January 29, 2008) -- Despite Apple's whizzy demos, there's more to a disaster-proof Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard backup strategy than turning on Time Machine. In the new "Take Control of Easy Backups in Leopard," Joe Kissell, author of the best-selling "Take Control of Mac OS X Backups," covers the ins and outs of Time Machine and helps readers create a comprehensive backup strategy that includes offsite backups and a bootable duplicate.

Kissell walks readers through the process of selecting and preparing a backup drive, and setting up and using Time Machine. He also looks at seven situations where Time Machine isn't enough, how to create a bootable duplicate, how handle offsite backups, and - most importantly - what to do if you need to recover data from a backup.

Along with "Take Control of Easy Backups in Leopard," the Take Control series welcomed an updated version of "Take Control of Maintaining Your Mac" to its lineup. The ebook, also by Kissell and completely revised to cover both Tiger and Leopard, provides daily, weekly, and yearly schedules for keeping a Mac running smoothly and avoiding problems.
