and i forgot to mention the only way to delete something on a PC is to use the desk defrag program, no files are deleted untill then, they apear as ghost files on the HDD, they are still there but are permanently disabled, a program was made to retrieve these files
its funny because windows does this better with system restore, which automatically saves your settings, but for backing up ur files u should use an external HDD not a program
It is NOT the equivalent of system restore, system restore is far more vital. It's a program that does a few lines in DOS for you which is handy for people who are new to computers. Nothing is entirely deleted from your hard drive, not from emptying recycling bin, not even from formatting. The only way to delete something permanently is to first remove it from your recycling bin, and then create an item with the same name in its place or get a program to destroy the file for you.
My Pavilion Desktop computer that I bought in 2005 had something called system restore out of the box. Sure it doesn't come with the cool animation like time machine, but it does the same thing.
of course the video doesnt talk about system restore. how would apple look if they told everyone that they added a feature to their new OS that their competetor has had for years? lol
WTF? This just goes to show how cocky Apple is, do they not know about System Restore thats been a part of Windows since XP?
Apple just pisses me off so much, way to finally catch up Apple, so now if you manage to fuck up your Mac(which isnt that hard) you dont have to pull out your hair anymore! yay!
I OWN A PC. WHERE IS YOUR "TIME MACHINE FOR WINDOWS?"because there ISN'T ANY. When I tell my friends (windows owners) about Time Machine, they ALL GET IMPRESSED, SO STOP INVENTING ARGUMENTS FOR DISCRIMINATING MACS.
It isn't the same thing. System Restore restores the entire system. With Time Machine you can get back any item you want without having to restore the entire system.
And the shadow copy in vista is similar, but not as good since it still just makes a copy of a file on your local drive. If smth bad happens to the drive, gone is the file.
"System Restore restores the entire system. With Time Machine you can get back any item you want"
If you know what you're doing in DOS, restoring any deleted file is easy. There's plenty of 3rd party applications that do exactly what the command in DOS does, there's one I use called Restoration.
Umm Pc(Vista can do this as well)I do it on mine.There is proof.Even if your HDD crashes.Usually your stuff is still on it.I do data recoveries all the time & set people up with auto recoveries so it does the same thing. I think PC and PC (MAC) are both good in different areas. But trying to claim something and pushing that PC's don't have it is false.Oh wait, my PC just finished a recovery save.Now I can go back and find that file I deleted of a MAC commercial and make fun it & the lies again.
I cant believe this. Windows has had backup long before Mac has. Also, Time Machine in Leopard is messed up, I think Apple purposely crippled it so that they could sell more Time Capsules. I can't believe this.
The mac backs up there shit into a external drive, windows backs there shadow copys into the drive its already using . So if your computer crashes and you lose your memory your fucked/.
Please find out about what you are talking about before you post patent nonsense. Windows Backup Center fully supports networked drives. While Apple's Time Machine doesn't even work with its own Airport Disks, which screwed over many customers who purchased the AirPort Extreme.
Thats very cool tnx man but dont giv a dam bout the airport disks. Also dont call my comments nonsense, what i said was right, and what you said was true.
False.. Even if your HDD fails.. You can still recover data. I have done it many times on Friends PCs and PC's(Mac) Cause all in all they are both PC's.. Same parts and everything.. WOW. Just different OS's
If Apple wants to make an ad touting its features, fine, but making all these ads in the Mac vs. PC format is just stupid. This ad doesn't even make sense. All editions of Windows Vista except Starter and Home Basic come with Windows Backup and Restore Center that has all the functionality of Time Machine, and works all Network-Attached-Storage devices. When is Apple rolling out backup support for AirPort Extreme attached drives again?
apparently u don't know shit about time machine (: and go do your history, windows wouldnt have graphic user interface if it wasn't for mac. not to mention a whole lot of other things.
Windows ME and XP have had that feature long before the release of OS X. These ads are bullshit, but unlike the Mac users I see going around praising all these ads I've got better things to do than share my opinion on every single one of them.
hahaha. looks like pc is behind the times. System restore (windows) restores your pc to an earlier time, DELETING ALL FILES CREATED FROM THAT TIME AND THE PRESENT. Time machine takes you back in time to recover a file or restore your entire mac if a hard drive crashes. System restore can't do that. Time machine got way better ratings. And yes, a feature called backup was around since before 1999 in MAC os 9. They just revamped it.
this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F1 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo wierd! wow
A friend of mine was in a car accident and her macbook didn't make it (rest in peace old buddy) but thanks to time machine when she got a new one she was able to use time machine to restore everything back to the day the other one died. I'd highly recommend getting your laptop covered by your insurance, you've just dropped over $1,000 on one of those after all.
Screw Macs and PC's. Just get a Linux its flying fucking awesome and free.
