[QUOTE="bellgamin, post: 1020882, member: 56053"] One of my granddaughters, nicknamed "Kichan," is in college, majoring in graphic arts. Kichan makes heavy use of Photo Shop & other graphics arts software. Right now all her classes enable students to back-up data files, drawings, etc, to online storage. However, she has never backed up her Macbook's system (image/clone/etc). Kichan is very skilled in using apps to do all kinds of amazing art, animations, ad layouts, website designs, etc -- but she is untaught concerning possibilities such as BSOD, drive failure, locked-up computer, infections, etc. So, in the 2 years or so since I gave her the Macbook, she has never backed-up her Macbook's system. Fortunately, the Macbook has never needed one. My plan is to (a) get her a good imaging app for the Mac, & (b) get her TWO EACH of [URL='https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Portable-Photographers-MU-PE1T0S-AM/dp/B0BHZQGN26/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1TG40C4WKB2WH&keywords=samsung%2Bexternal%2Bssd%2Bfor%2BMacbook&qid=1674253793&sprefix=samsung%2Bexternal%2Bssd%2Bfor%2Bmacbook%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-5&th=1'][B]this Samsung's[/B][/URL] rugged, portable SSD with 2 TB (it has options for 1 or 2 or 4 TB).
