Hi.

I`m in the need of copying a large amount of files from on mac to another for backup/rebuild purposes. Is it OK to just drag and drop or is there another more "correct" way to do this?

Thanks.
Tom

it's perfectly fine... remember to grab a cup of tea or coffee while the files are being copied!

remember not to throw the tea over the keyboard, could end very badly.

you could email the files from one machine to the other, over a dial-up connection, invite some friends over and all have a fun time watching the progress bar crawl along. that's how i'd do it. well, obviously apart from the friends bit. doh!

I second that suggestion 100%... very fast and efficient. HL rocks.

Or you might want to roll a big joint while those files are being copied!

As do I.

When transferring all the shiznat from my iMac to G4 the rate didn't go below 950KB a sec.
