You can also use the free version of SuperDuper to make a DMG of the mac to a drive like a firewire, across the network etc while the mac is running. I just backed up my imac that way since I will be taking it in soon for its annual cleanup under my ProCare.

Re the Apple rant: you can add Dell and IBM (formerly; dunno if Lenovo inherited that behavior) to the list of companies known to reimage hard drives for no good reason. At least they warn you that if you care you should pull and keep your HD before sending your machine in, though. Which I’d consider a best practice, in fact.

Hello Gang;
I would like to say that I love your podcast and listen to it everytime it comes out. I know you enjoy a family podcast but I don’t think a little fowl language will stop people from listening. I enjoy your podcast and keep rocking.

Hey Guys,
I love the podcast and hearing about your work. Regarding the file and share security problems; You should check out DumpSec from www.somarsoft.com. It is a free utility that dumps the user permissions on a file system or share (disk or printer) and lets you export in a variety of formats. I’ve used the utility for auditing a system for security holes and mis-configurations or in preparation for migrating to a new server to make sure I have the appropriate permission structure on the new server. They have a couple other free utilities that might come in handy as well.
I hope this helps. Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation Keith, DumpSec looks like an awesome little solution, I can’t wait to try it out! I think I will after lunch, in fact.
