Cheers i think I’ll go that way.
Anyone have any idea why it would slow down computer startup though?
Thanks!😀

Oh I see sorry- so you don’t want one backup working on everything, you want separate backups such as drive 2 backing up drive 1, drive 3 baking up drive 4 etc… Im sure there’s a system for this, I looked into it once but cant remember what I found. Presumably a software RAID mirroring isn’t quite what you want, I mean that wouldn’t let you look ‘back in time’…

Umm, pretty sure Time Machine allows you to back up external hard drives to a single external hard drive, as well as your computer.

“The iMac is not currently a perfectly good editing machine. It’s fastest i/o port right now is FW800. Even if the current models had TB, they’d still be limited in ability. I do lots of work in After Effects to support my FCP projects, and on a recent project I was using the 2.93 quad i7 iMac w/ top of the line GPU available and 8 GB of RAM. It was extraordinarily slow, and the 8 GB of memory left me with several hundred MB of page outs.”
I totally understand the limitations of the iMac, especially its (annoying) lack of express card and no where near broadcast accurate screen for grading. However, I think to argue they’re slow is mute, and wrong. They have the latest 1333 RAM. If 8 isn’t enough, put in 16. In terms of speed, the benchmarks are on a par with the previous model upper- spec mac pros. The NEW mac pros have certain technological speed advantages such as quick channel, but for standard use of After Effects, with 16GB Ram and editing onto a separate internal drive connected by esata (im talking about the OS running of an SSD and using the other internal drive as an edit drive), its is DEFINITELY fast enough for even prosumer use.
