Time Machine is a Time Saver



If you've ever lost any important document or project on a computer disk you can empathize with me.  A co-worker found out today that he lost everything on his computer.  That hurts!


Anywho, today, in haste, I deleted a native file that I mistook for another file.  Hit in the gut. To redo the project would have took about 2 hours.

The good news is that I've been regularly backing up my system (about once a week) and did so this morning.  I never had to use Time Machine until today.  It worked like a charm and restored the project as if nothing happened.  

Thank you Apple for your genius.  Made me grateful in many ways.  I backed up and it paid off. I work in a place that appreciates Apple too.  

APPLE for LIFE!

Any horror "information loss" stories?  Any "information saved" stories?

Dougie,

What are you backing up to? You have an external drive or what?

I really need to start using time machine too.

Hit me up sometime bro.
