It should be possible to copy the folder on the Time Machine disk and put it somewhere safe.
Be aware that this file will get HUGE over time as it continues to add to the file until the drive is almost full.

I'm using Time Machine and an external Firewire drive to back up an iMac with 2 user accounts (password protected) and an external USB drive containing all my iTunes media. All in all there is about 290 GB of data in the Time Machine backup.
So what's the simplest way to create an offsite backup of the two user accounts and the external USB drive on a single 500 GB USB drive? I've tried using Apple's "Backup" software but even though it claimed it successfully completed the backup it did not include the external drive or the 2nd user account (presumably because of permissions).
The fact that it didn't even both mentioning upon completion that some data could not be backed up makes me highly suspicious of the Backup software. I know I can go in and treat these as three separate backups backing up each user account seperately to get around the permissions issue but I'm looking for a simple one touch way to get all this data onto backup onto the drive so I don't have to babysit the backup process.
Is it possible to just copy the data from the Time Machine drive to the Off site backup drive or is that data useless once copied from the Time Machine drive itself?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
