Two stories about TimeMachine

Time Machine is an innovative backup system built directly into Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard." To work with Time Machine on Mac OS X by Apple Inc. released access point Time Capsule.

I want to tell two stories about how Time Machine saved me.

Initially, Time Machine attracted me as a beautiful toy, for example, what a multi-version folder looks like:



After connecting the hard drive to the USB hub, it took several minutes to configure. Now I just had to connect the hub (to which the mouse and keyboard are also connected) to the macbook, and the backup happened automatically on the background.

After a week of playing with Time Machine, I forgot about it, but it still went on. I remembered about him only six months later, when, leaving my work, I dropped my macbook on the floor. Mack had not yet managed to fall asleep, so the hard disk was scratched when it fell.

It was necessary to urgently do something, because MacBook was my main work tool. An identical hard drive was found on the Internet, the next day I drove into the store in the morning to buy it and replaced it an hour before work. Now it was necessary to restore the system. Oh yes! I have everything on Time Machine! I really hoped that everything would go smoothly, because when I used Windows, the backup built in there never worked.

And what do you think? After half an hour of recovery from backup, I had a laptop in my hands in the form it was in before I dropped it!

The second story happened two years later. MacBook has already aged and from time to time began to overheat. Cleaning it from dust did not help. And in the end he stopped turning on. This happened again at the end of the working day, and the next day we have to work again! I ran to the store, bought a new macbook, and again, in half an hour, I had a macbook in the form in which I remembered it before the accident.

Why am I all this? Mac OS Users! Be sure to pay attention and configure backups using Time Machine, which is already built into the system. Once configured, backup will save your data and nervous system.
