**How Old Is Your Most Recent Backup?** If you don't have a good
  answer to the title's question, we hope you'll check out the second
  edition of "Take Control of Mac OS X Backups," by Joe Kissell, since
  it explains how to set up, use, and restore from a backup system
  that fits your budget and lifestyle.

  We've thoroughly updated this new edition to cover current topics:
  what you should know before installing Windows on a Mac (and how to
  back up Windows-related files); expanded info on special cases like
  backing up photos and movies, backing up installed applications, and
  backing up while traveling; and a look at how Leopard's Time Machine
  might play into a backup strategy. It also now offers instructions
  on how to set up easy-to-use backups for a friend or relative and
  issues surrounding rolling your own backups with Unix command-line
  tools.

  You can also listen to a podcast of Joe talking about backups in a
  recent MacVoices interview.
