Thanks for the tips, Tiago. The server idea is probably beyond what we
need. Our "meat and potato" stuff (the Point of Sale crapola) is
handled that way. I'm just looking for a way to automate backups. I'll
check out AutoMate.

If all goes well the only thing you'll have to manually enter are the
passwords for items like email. Just remember to have the apps
installed on the new machine before you begin. You'll be amazed at how
well it works. I've migrated 2 machines for my mother in law and
absolutley no issues. I wish they had this 10 years ago.

Also - I use a WD ext 160GB drive to do the backups to. - Old machine
data to ext drive, new machine pulls that data from ext drive. Then
you don't waste any HD space on the local boxes.
