G5 as as back up to the iMac?
I know this topic is pretty old for you guys, but if you could bare with me. I bought a used G5 about 2 years ago, just bought an iMAC. Is there any way to use the G5 as as back up to the iMAC and any new MAC devices?
Update
My apologies.
Is this a good question?

what you you mean "as backup"? You want to backup the iMac to the G5? Boot the G5 in target disk mode it will act like an external HD - AFAIK to do this you have to connect them via Firewire.

This Original Question was very unclear about what David was asking. He didn't reply, but 4 days later he restated his Question. Neither of which are really "repair related" IMHO.

I agree with pollytintop on this. As long as it keeps his G5 out of the dumpster, it does follow the mission of ifixt. An answer has been provided and therefore should not be marked as not answerable.

I would say no you cant use it as a backup but if you find a way you should call a technician or tech support to help you.
