So each time I save, it saves a revision automatically.
#WHERE IS TIME MACHINE ON MAC SOFTWARE#
I also have free software that sync's two folders and treats a file with the same name but different date as a different file. Yes it possible for anyone to make a mistake, that's why I auto-clone daily and rotate the drives every two weeks. thus it might actually be possible for one to change or delete a file (or the wrong file) in error, too, so having backups of previous versions I'd agree that Time Machine alone isn't a well-rounded solution, but then a clone alone isn't, either.
Clones are temporary, since they don't have previous copies of things.
We all make mistakes, with the possible exception of a fellow who's reported to have died about 2000 years ago. You can only do that with clones if you have multiple clones.īootability is certainly good, but it's not the only reason to have backups.
#WHERE IS TIME MACHINE ON MAC ARCHIVE#
Having both gives you redundancy, plus bootability, plus archive copies.Īnd, with Time Machine, you can restore your entire system to the condition it was in at the time of any backup, even if that's a previous version of OSX. Really? Didn't you mean that you only recommend Time Machine TO real newbies, instead of except to them?Ī perfect example: even the ultra-sophisticated power user can make a mistake thus it might actually be possible for one to change or delete a file (or the wrong file) in error, too, so having backups of previous versions does have value. I only recommend TimeMachine except to real newbies Seasoned users can disable TimeMachine's annoying popup window using the free Tinkertool or OnyX The "lockdown" and "non-bootable" features of TimeMachine make using it more of a liability than a asset for what little features it offers.īut like I said before, for newbies it's better than nothing.
#WHERE IS TIME MACHINE ON MAC UPDATE#
TimeMachine is like a tourniquet on a bleeding wound, it's only a temporary measure, not a viable well rounded solution.Ĭloning software can be made to schedule a update to the clone. Giving maximum flexibility for any circumstance that should arise.Īnd, unlike a clone, Time Machine keeps copies of things that have been changed or deleted, so you can recover them if need be.Ī person who so low on the computer learning curve that they delete things by accident or can't do a "Save As." needs to be using TimeMachine, I agree with you there. You can access Time Machine backups from another Mac.Īnd only from TimeMachine on a Mac because of Mandatory Access ControlsĪ clone one can access like any other drive with files and folders in it, from a PC (with HFS+ reading software installed) or any Mac or Linux machine. If one is educated enough to be cloning, the TimeMachine drive is just a waste as it's not bootable. Once they get a bit more educated, they should be cloning.įor hardware redundacy it's better to have two clones rotated in updates, like weekly or bi-weekly. I only recommend TimeMachine except to real newbies who only can hook up two cables and click OK on a TimeMachine popup window. Doing both gives you redundancy and the best of both kinds of backup. Actually, many folks recommend doing both, to separate drives, since all hardware fails, sooner or later, and no backup or cloning app is perfect.
