Backing up a hard drive without raid?

Nemesis379 · 30 Dec 2012 at 21:45

I'm going to be getting a Mac Mini soon, and was wondering if there was any software to automatically backup a hard drive to another hard drive, I'm going to be using two HD103SJ's on an external enclosure.

I would not like to use RAID because there can always be complications, and don't really trust the whole idea, and just prefer the simplicity of using software.

Thanks.

But then if I use time machine the hard drives have to be formatted into HFS+, and they are NTFS.

Don't understand why I would partition the hard drive, the hard drives aren't going to be used to backup the Mac Mini, but to back up the files on a different hard drive to another hard drive that is the same model.

Yes, as all my important files are going to be put one of those, and the External Enclosure I will be getting does not have raid, so what's my best option?

Thanks, I guess I will have to format my hard drives, anytime I need to use it on Windows Machine I'll just use MacDrive.

I have one more question about Mac Mini, you reckon it will be able to play Dota 2 or HoN smoothly?
