You might have probably heard about Time Machine, one of big features in the latest version of Mac OS. It automagically backs up everything in your disk in hourly basis, 24×7, without choking full your external disk. It pauses its activity when you put the computer to sleep and picks up where it left when the computer is awake. Whenever you need to find missing files, summon the time machine and you’ll see the time machine in action. In a snazzy nebula view, time machine can bring you back to various previous states of directory, file, photo album, address book, you name it. All these in a highly usable and cool eye-candied outer space.
Well done, Apple!
Some questions related to time machine floats around the net. Most of them are answered from the official website, some others are discussed in the blogosphere like this blog.
Here’s one of the questions listed in the blog mentioned above.
Giz: Can you override Time Machine to seriously delete stuff you never want to see again?
Apple: In the “starfield” view you have an option: “Delete all backup versions of this file.” If you do that, you will never see it again. Also, you can select things you don’t want to be picked up by Time Machine. You can affect the scope, and specify areas you don’t want to cover.
