You can take the back up to the iDisk of your Mac computer. Just Click on the Finder and then to the Go menu. Now click on iDisk and then choose the my iDisk and take the back up of your system but before that make sure that you delete the old back up from the hard drive. After that only take the back up. You can get the full back up with the same.
