@ojuLzo BRB counting how many ways youre wrong.

Lol Windows based computers could do that when they introduced Windows XP. Good ol Apple copying another OS and claiming the feature to be breaththrough.

BRB Notification Bar on iOS5

BRB Sync wirelessly

BRB Nothing we do is innovative

What's the difference between Windows' automatic registry backups and Mac's time machine? I mean besides the fancy name that is.

@accordguy0325 I wouldn't really say it would be copying if you are talking about the thickness. They probably made them thinner just to stop people from whining about thickness.

That doesn't give me the advantage of having hourly/daily backups of recent work and backups dating back a few months.

Saving space really is not an issue for most people.

If it wasn't for the current HDD shortage you could buy a 2TB external HDD for $70, A 4-bay NAS server + 4 2TB harddrives (total of 5.5TB in RAID5) for less than $500.

@Molo9000 you could clone your drive just get a drive matching your current one in size it can keep track of updates and crap like that.

b) time machine doesn't take up much space. My system drive has 130GB of data and my time machine backup takes up 226GB after about 3 months of backups. (hourly backups for the last 24horus, daily backups for the past month, weekly backups for all previous months)

If time machine runs out of space it simply deletes the oldest backup.

[Molo9000]

@matthew65536

a) you can choose what drive time machine backups to. There would be no point to having a backup, if it's on the same drive as the original data. You can either backup to an external drive or to a network drive supporting AFP (apple filing protocol), which pretty much all NAS servers support these days.

@Molo9000 but a mac doesn't have a really big hard drive when you first buy it a macbook air has a 50 some gigabyte drive. Plus what if you have a lot of stuff. see backup is better cause you can choose a drive to backup to Also time machine even if the previous files are the same it still re backs up every little change because you'll easily run out of space.
