[muglo] lost iTunes

This sounds eerily familiar. Not the loss of iTunes songs particularly, 
although I've lost a few here and there for unexplained reasons, but more 
significantly the failure of backup programs to back up all they're supposed to 
back up. I've never done more than look at Carbon Copy Cloner, which is Doug's 
backup choice, but in nearly a year's experience of Time Machine and Time 
Capsule, I've had numerous cases where the one file I needed to retrieve from 
backup hadn't actually been backed up for a week or more. Luckily, in more than 
half of those incidents, I've also had a second second backup done 
intermittently on another drive with SuperDuper! I use that one to make a 
bootable backup, only when my internal drive has been behaving itself for a 
while and seems relatively trouble-free. As a result, it's not always as up to 
date as Time Capsule supposedly is, sometimes a couple of weeks or more 
elapsing before I feel confident enough to run SuperDuper!
 again - but I've never yet gone to it expecting a given backup to be there and 
been disappointed to find it wasn't.
