How to take back up from MAC

Recently my MacBook Pro screen went all black .. Probably some problem with its logic board. Now I had loads of stuff to take back up.
Thanks to Terracotta(the company for which I work) I soon got hold of another Mac. So there is an easy way for transferring stuff from 1 Mac to the other (of which I was not aware of).

Here the step goes:
1. Get hold of a firewire cable. Something like shown below:

2. Connect the 2 Macs with this cable.

3. Then start the mac from which u need to take the back up by pressing the "t" button. This will start your mac in the target mode.

4. After this hard disc will get mounted on the working mac and you are good to move your stuff around.

Simple right.
Apple rocks !!!

  1. hi Nihit,
    Nice to see you blog. I am an apple fan too. Apple's Attention detail always impresses me. They always have an edge over the other products with their attention to detail. Hope you keep blogging more about your adventures with MAC.
