I've had occasion to retrieve past versions of several job files, which have usually been progressively overwritten over time, because clients have requested a roll-back to material in a previous version. This is particularly true of web sites, of which I keep one copy on my Mac, one on a bootable backup, and also on an external dual 1TB(RAID) Time Machine backup. I'm now finding that the oldest backup stored (February 2009) is too recent in some cases, so either a bigger drive or a different TM backup routine is called for. Which I why I'm delighted to discover those two useful little apps listed here - never thought to look to see if anything like that was available! I also like the look of that Aluratek drive dock, but sadly that's another item that hasn't reached the UK shores yet. There are Aluratek products available here, but not that one. There are <a href="http://www.dabs.com/products/akasa-duodock-desktop-docking-enclosure-for-2-5--and-3-5--sata-hdd---black-634F.html" rel="nofollow">alternatives </a>though, so I think I might give one a try (same price in pounds as dollars, as usual!)
