Does anyone know if time machine will backup stuff on your external hard drive as well?
Pandemonium44 (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)
No, that's not correct. I use time machine and it backs up my entire system as well. How do I know this? I checked in the backup folder on my external drive. There it is, "Home" folder. With the system and everything. All files, the entire system. With Time machine you are secure.

Without a bootable OS. Obviously you can't stop deleting important files. IDIOT!!

No, I'm gonna have to agree with program1357 on this one. Dont take me wrong, System Restore is useful, but I do think that Apple has done a bit better with this, all though there's always room for improvement!

Apple's software undeletes accidentally removed files, it's for idiots that don't know how to use a recycling bin. System Restore actually restores corrupted programs, and even re-installs them if you deleted them completely, it's really a charm.

Yeah, genius, except Apple's software not only does it quicker, easier, and with a much simpler system (and, yes, I've used both), but Microsoft's genius system won't help you if your hard drive corrupts. And it doesn't take much to corrupt a hard drive.

Its hard to imagine how awesome this is until you actually loose something and are then able to retrieve it via Time Machine.Ah, Time Machine, where would I be without you?

It annoys be when people compare this to windows system restore. They are completely different. One is for files the other is for programs and settings. One works by backing up to an external HD, the other makes 'restore points' on the built in HD. Prob is if you break or loose you built in HD your screwed. Therefore I wouldn't call system restore a backup system at all. |
