Your data
is vital, irreplaceble, priceless and very expensive to recover
(sometimes beyond the reach of recovery). So, it is advisable to
backup your Mac regularly to secure it from any loss. If you are like
me then your data must contain following stuff:-
Photos
(Wedding, Children, family tour,occasion)
Music
Movies
Conference
talks
Documents
(Business receipts, Scans of all diplomas, licenses, etc. )
Research
papers etc
There are
so many strong reasons why one should take atleast continuous backups
using Time machine. Anytime your drive fails or can be stolen and
also wiped by hackers. Infact I must say that its good to have some
offsite backups also. However, here I will talk about special type of
backups called 'Clone backups'.
A clone is
an exact copy of your Mac drive including user data and OS files.
Clone gives bootable copy which can be used to boot your Mac if the
primary drive fails or gets corrupted.
Prominent
reasons for why to clone Mac drive:
- It is useful In Testing Apps and Trouble shooting issues
- During replacement of Primary hard drive
- Its a great way to have functional backup of entire machine
