smartbackup and "copy newer" rock

[dnanian]

Well, you can use a product like "Do Something When" (see VersionTracker) and the general steps in the "One Touch Button" FAQ to have SD! automatically back up whenever a drive is attached... that'd be your best bet for now, I think.

Also, you could supplement your SD! usage with something like a Seagate Mirra, which would automatically back up your Mac over the network in a truly disconnected and automatic fashion...
