Backup and restore... - pqrst - 04-12-2010
I am going to be traveling for three weeks and was thinking of doing a clean reinstall of osx (mainly to get rid of work files and apps). When I get back, I would do a restore on the drive. Am I right, that I need to use something like Carbon Copy Cloner? I'm using Time Machine on a daily basis but I don't think that handles this kind of thing, can it? Thanks for any info and comments.

Why would you wipe your startup drive before you leave and then restore it when you get back?
You think it's not secure?
Would your backup/clone be more secure?
