Super Duper vs. Retrospect - Which one is better?

Senior Members,
What is the best solution for creating bootable clones and back-ups? What do you use?
Acronis is the industry favorite for Windows, but they have still not launched their Mac version, which was supposed to be out by now.
Thank you!

The choice depends on your backup needs. If all you wish to do is make a bootable clone, then use the Restore option of Disk Utility. The "free" version of SuperDuper can only do clones. If you need complex backup solutions then Retrospect or Synchronize! Pro X are excellent choices. See,
Backup Software Recommendations
My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.

Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
good luck

I would like to buy an ipad for my nephew. Which one is better, ipad or ipad mini? He wants to play games, and put lots of app.

Probably the full iPad, because it has a better graphics card. The larger screen helps too.

Shutdown or Sleep, which one is better??

I usually use my Mac Mini about 3 hours a day. At the end of the day, should I shutdown the machine or simply put it in sleep mode? Which one is better? What is the difference?
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Snawman,
I agree with the others. In your case, better shut it down for saving energy.
"Which one is better? What is the difference?":
- Sleep allows to very quickly resume any task that was running. Leave all applications, documents etc open, they'll just be here at the same place, in the same state, as when you left your computer.
It's just a matter of quickly going back to work, not having to retype some websites login passwords for example, etc.
- On the wear and tear point of view, the difference is so small, your Mini will be obsolete and replaced with a newer Mac, far before something breaks down just because of to many cold boots!
Yes, the most demanding task for a computer's hardware (and probably OS too), is a cold boot.
Sleep, instead of Shutdown, keeps your computer components from a lot of temperature fluctuations, and the hard disk too just spins down, instead of completely setting itself down, then up again from scratch (and cold).
Again,
these differences exist, but they are not so important that you would take them into account and change your energy saving habits.
- Macs are well designed to cope with many different kinds of users/usages.
"About running yourself the nightly automatic maintenance":
In case you didn't know already about this: yes, just open Terminal and paste this command
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
once or twice a month.
In order to make sure all three maintenance tasks run until the end, after you entered your admin password and hit Return, just leave Terminal open like 15 minutes or so (until you see its prompt again).
There is no hurry to quit it, as the maintenance runs in the background: Just use your computer in the meanwhile.
Enjoy your Mac!

For developer's point of view which one is better- 10g or 11g

i want to apply for oracle.Assuming you are talking about Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Database 11g, and not any of the other products that use the brands 10g and 11g (and assuming you want to discuss that here instead of the appropriate product forum where it belongs), here are some of my thoughts:
- if you are not using any 11g features, nor any new-in-10g features that have been fixed in 11g, it does not matter;
- if you are using 11g features, then 11g is the way to go;
- if you want (or want your customers to have) regular support past July of this year, go 11g;
- if you want the latest fixes in the optimizer, go 11g;
- if you want to save yourself code by using database features, look at the docs and see whether they will help.

Which one is better EP with ABAP or EP with Java

Hi Experts,
Please tell me Which one is better EP with ABAP or EP with Java for learning and useful in USA?

What programming background do you already have? You should match up the flavor of Web Dynpro that matches the skill sets you already have? Do you have ERP or other Business Suite experience already? If so you will find that WDA is often used in conjunction with the Business Suite and WDJ used for composites. So consider where your business domain experience and knowledge lies and support that as well.

Business Delegate- JSP or JSP- JavaBean, which one is better?

My current approach is to use a struts action to call a business delegate(pojo) which will go to the session facade and get database info then the JSP simply becames a FETCHER(which helps on reusablity since I can use them for many tables), but I also know I could use struts action to just simply forward to a JSP then retrive the info via JavaBean->EjbSessionFacade
I'm confused which one is better for performance, scalability, maintainability, etc

Whatever flow you are following is generally used flow and its correct aslo. Dont think its a bad design. One more think you have to look into is, minimize the remote calls as much as possible. Instead of doing many remote calls you can use EJB local object to process all your business logic and finally you can come out using single Remote call for a process. Look after this.. it will improve performance.

Macbook pro retina samsung panel, lg panel, which one is better?

macbook pro retina samsung panel, lg panel, which one is better?

grim992 wrote:
So are the macbook pro retina early 2013 version with LG panel having IR issue?
Mine hasn't yet but time may tell. At the same time I asked a question on the endless IR thread and never got an answer: to what extent is how the rMBP being used driving image retention?
I'm sure there are other variables but the one that comes to mind first is how bright is the screen run? I would imagine that a monitor set to full brightness (as one user who complained about IR did) would accelerate any tendency toward IR and the closer to "full-on" it's set, the sooner that would happen. I have mine set to "5" of the available range and for the first week, I ran the Image Retention Test in all its variations repeatedly without a hint of IR. We also don't know whether the LG at full brightness can illuminate an auditorium while the Samsung can only light up a room or vice-versa.
Other variables could be: is the screen saver used; how long before it kicks in; is the rMBP the only computer so it's used constantly; is it ever powered off or is the monitor just allowed to sleep?
Based on those thousands of posts, the original LG's appear to be more prone to IR than the Samsung, but there hasn't been the same flood of complaints with the LG SJA2's, at least not yet. At the same time, there hasn't been any attention I could find about contributing factors either.
And notably, way back when the Samsung started to be the Holy Grail, I don't remember complaints about color problems; that seems to have cropped up recently.

DECODE VS CASE? Which one is better

Which one is better:
DECODE(exp,1,val1,val2)
VS
Case WHEN exp = 1
then val1
when exp=0
then val2
end

hi
it depends on your environment in 9i you will find case faster then decode but when the same test scenario is test at 10g you will find the same.

I will use Barclays Card for 18 month free interest.
I wil ask Apple clerk to avoid LG monitor.
I will buy those in Apple store.
Which one will you recommend?

Tha's something you need to decide for yourself.
Do you think you need 16GB of memory or 8 will be enough?
Do you need to carry your macbook around with you more often? if so just get the 13" it's easier to carry.
Or maybe you enjoy watching media on a bigger screen?
As for word processing it shouldn't be a problem on both notebooks.
Also can you afford buying the 15"?
And what about the hard drive capacity?
So my advice is to consider these aspects, make a list of pros and cons and see what you come up with
