LOL! Um... yeah... right. Who does it for you then?
news wrote:Just wondering what people here use for maintenance on osx. I remember in pre-osx days it was more work; norton, diskwarrior and de-fragmenting and so on.
I use Carbon Copy Cloner manually every week or so for back-up. Tried retrospect but it seems more complex than I need. The most I can lose is a week's stuff, thats the most i gamble with and the odds seem very low.
Onyx does all the system level stuff, again about once a week. The machine isn't on all the time so I think the cron jobs will be missed (is this correct or will it do them after starting up?)
I still use disk warrior about once a month. Is there something in darwin I can use instead for this?
another thing I found useful is Uninstaller, which I run a couple of times a week, just to see what changes have happened. It's also a way to learn what's going on in the system. Anything I see that I don't recognize I look up.
I can't remember when the last kernel panic was. Long time ago and to do with java. Problem disappeared with some update I got. Amazing considering my lack of attention. Greatly improved over 9x.
That's about it. Andy
Seems like a lot of work to keep OS X running well. On my PCs I don't need to do any maintenance.
His/Her performance just goes down the drain, slowly enough to never really notice the changes...
