    Backups

    Sorry for so many questions. But, I guess that's what happens when you have a new MacBook and OS user ;) When it comes to Backups, is your main application Time Machine, or something else? I have a 1TB Western Digital drive, and I think I might set it up for Time Machine backups, weekly, or...
