For me Carbon Copy Cloner does it quite well, although it is not exactly fancy. Although all my experiences with Apple Care in <strong>Germany</strong> were great, very competent and helpful people there, Apple Care seems not to be the perfect solution in every case. The best approach is to have it for a portable (it saved me tons on my iBook) but not to call Apple unless you really have to. Just take the Mac to a <strong>competent</strong> dealer around the corner and let them deal with it. External drives are yor friend.

I was seriously considering switching out my two other Windows PCs for Macs. Now I think I’m going to go home and spend the weekend burning back up CDs of all of my data on the iBook.
