I'm going for SuperDuper, but am concerned at the damage it could do  
if someone instructs it to carry out the sort of backup that kicks  
off by erasing everything on the destination drive. Is there a way of  
disabling this option in SD, or of making part(s) of an external  
drive read only?

Our set up is pretty simple: two PowerBooks (10.4 but one moving soon  
to 10.5) with a 1TB airport drive due soon from Apple, one Mini  
elsewhere accessible via ADSL with a 750 MB external drive.  
Everything on the 750 will also be on the 1TB.
