A few questions

Hi

Dealing with "open with" duplicates on Snow Leopard
I've searched the forums and only found posts dating back to 2006 on how to deal with application duplicates showing up in the "open with" menu.

Have things changed with later versions of Mac OS X specifically Snow Leopard?

Do you recommend that external drives used exclusively with SuperDuper be added to the Spotlight Privacy tab?

Setting up SuperDuper on a family member's MacBook Air
The user is not very computer literate and I want to keep things simple. The MacBook Air has a 128GB SSD and an external USB 320GB drive. I'm thinking of partitioning the external drive, so 2x160GB and then schedule SuperDuper, so that:

- daily when the user connects the external drive a full clone is made to the "Daily" partition and

- weekly say when the user connects on Mondays, a full clone is made to the "Weekly" partition.

The thought behind this is so that there is an older clone if something goes terribly wrong with the daily one. What is your opinion on this setup?

Thanks for your help.
