| Take Control of Backing Up Your Mac Posted: 11 Oct 2011 08:50 AM PDT 
Book Description Although the 210-page ebook is organized so you can start backing up without reading every page, the full ebook will teach you to: - Design a reliable backup system. If you’re developing a new backup system, you’ll learn how to make it not only thorough, ensuring that all your data is safe, but also easy to manage. And if you’re reassessing and redesigning an existing backup system, Joe provides detailed advice about how to evaluate it and offers guidance for improving and modernizing it.
- Talk like an expert. You’ll understand terms like “versioned backups,” “push” and “pull” backups, “duplicates,” “server,” “client,” “incremental,” “hard link,” “metadata,” “mirroring,” and “snapshot.”
- Shop for hardware. You’ll discover the pros and cons of different backup media options such as hard drives (with USB, FireWire, eSATA, or Thunderbolt interfaces – and with or without full-disk encryption), flash drives, optical media, tape drives, RAIDs, Drobo storage devices, Time Capsules, and NAS and SAN devices.
- Choose backup software. You’ll learn about 14 key features and find overviews and tips for 8 noteworthy backup products (an online appendix covers nearly 100 options), plus several suggestions for online backups. You’ll also get Joe’s personal recommendations to help you sort through the possibilities.
- Operate your Time Machine. You’ll find what goes on beneath Time Machine’s simple surface, and how best to make use of Apple’s built-in backup system, including how Lion’s local backups work when your Time Machine volume isn’t available, and how to encrypt a Time Machine backup.
- Make backups. No matter what backup software you decide to use, Joe provides a conceptual walk-through of the entire process, offering basic information for people who’ve never made a backup before and savvy, real-world suggestions for making the backup process as easy as possible.
- Deal with special backup needs. You’ll learn what to do about certain kinds of data that may require special backup strategies, such as large media archives, frequently changing files that need special versioned backup treatment, and Windows files and volumes hosted on your Mac.
- Recover lost data. Use your backup to recover lost data successfully in the event of a hard disk crash or other calamity. After all, restoration is what’s really important.

| Take Control of Spotlight for Finding Anything on Your Mac Posted: 11 Oct 2011 08:46 AM PDT 
Book Description You’ll learn these search-related techniques: - Improve search accuracy by limiting Spotlight to searching just where you want.
- Reduce result clutter by choosing which categories should appear in the Spotlight menu.
- Learn what to do when the Spotlight menu doesn’t list an item that it should be able to find.
- Use criteria bars (and even the elusive Boolean bars!) to create complex search queries.
- Bypass criteria bars by typing complex, powerful queries in any Spotlight search field.
- Build Boolean searches with AND, OR, and NOT to narrow your search results precisely.
In addition, you’ll find out how to make your files even easier to find with these techniques: - Customize a file’s metadata.
- Employ free third-party utilities to give your files useful, searchable tags.
- Set up sophisticated smart folders that provide dynamic file organization.
In these days of terabyte drives, your Mac has enormous storage capacity, and you may have many thousands of files squirreled away (we don’t even want to admit to how many hundreds of thousands of files are filling up our disks!). But with the Spotlight expertise you’ll gain from this ebook, you’ll be able to retrieve anything on your Mac, no matter how deeply it’s buried or how specific you need to make your search (how about every GarageBand song in the key of E-flat, or every graphic that’s smaller than 500 by 500 pixels?).
