Could I use carbon copy cloner or super dupa on that drive to back up all my data to the external drive and use Time Machine to back up on my computer's hard drive? If I use Time Machine in that way, do I need to partition my computer's hard drive first? The reason I back up is partly that I am worried about break-ins and computer theft. So I back up my files and take the external drive to my office and leave it there. I only bring it home about once a month to do back-ups.

When home and backed up harddrive with time machine, They reinstalled the OS. Went to time machine to reinstall backup and found nothing for the last 2 years. The genius at the Apple store finally figured out that my time machine had file vault on and therefore all the data in the back up was unattainable and lost. Up to that point I didn't even know about file vault or how it got turned on. Can I recover from my back up drive? I think I know the answer to that with all the research I have done :( On the other hand can I recover the information on the laptop harddrive even though there was an OS reinstalled. I have not used the laptop since this happened in order not to overwrite in case a recovery is possible. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had to change my mbp hdd. The hdd had two partition on it. One for système and annoter for user home. I did a backup from the system. I tested it right after booting from this backup. Everithing ok. After i removed The old hdd an put the new one. If i try now to boot from the sys backup hdd i get an error mess saying ifs not possible to log in. User and pw are correct. Is this because my home is on another backup hdd ? What can i do now to fix that ?? In advance thanks for any solution. Cheers Hi,,,

From this reason i think that buying another hdd will be throwing money I don’t know why to buy another external HDD when you have so many cheaper options to store it online :|
