> How do I clone the contents of a 750gb drive to a 300gb drive?
If you've got less than 300Gb of data on the 750Gb drive, it's easy!
(Actually, you'd have to allow for false-advertising-overhead so it'd have to be less than 279GB to back it up to the average 300GB drive.)
...Or you could selectively exclude some non-system files/folders. Carbon Copy Cloner makes that easy.
...Or you could just back up your home folder to that drive. Both CCC and SuperDuper will do that for you and can be used to make scheduled/automated backups.
