Found out the other day if I select a second hard drive for Apple's Time Machine backup software, it makes two separate backups so you have 2 back copies. It also lets you go thru and exlude both drives and files from the backups. And I still use another back software to make bootable backups so I have 3 backups.

Like Time Machine because it presents you with your desktop then you can go to the folder a file is in and then go back in time for revisions of one or more files to restore.

Do the bootable in case something happens to the boot drive, can just boot off that backup then replace the drive. Usually replace with an backup machine that I restore the boot drive from a time machine backup, bring it back into service, and use the machine that the drive died as my replacement machine.

The first commandment of computers is Easy is Hard. Meaning is something is easy to do on the computer is was a lot of work to make it that way. The second is 1,2,3 many backups.
