Today marks the one year anniversary of my Time Machine backups. Yes, this is a ridiculously geeky thing to take note of, but is it? Imagine how awesome it is to know that you can get to files you deleted a year ago within 5 minutes.
Remember kids, backups are never a bad thing.
Bah, why do I always feel like the older one when you post things like this? VMS has had an actual versioning file system in place for a long time, and certainly longer than OS X has been around.
Time Machine is a great idea, and an incredibly well-implemented one for Joe User, but it’s far from a new idea. I’m tempted to say that I’d wish Apple would implement an in-place (i.e., one disk) versioning file system, but then again, it’s nice to give users a reason to do proper backups too…
