Do you have multiple Macs and need to back them up to a central managed location? Well, Time Machine Server allows you to accept Time Machine backups from client machines on your network and it’s simple to setup.
If you have used computers for any period of time, you should have heard the expression “There are two kinds of computer users -those that have had a hard drive failure and those that will”. If you haven’t experienced a failure consider yourself lucky, but your days could be numbered. A reliable backup strategy will make recovery easier, less nerve-wracking and ensure that you won’t potentially lose days of sleep.
Did you know that you can do a Spotlight search of your Time Machine backups to find past versions of files that you may have lost or deleted? Spotlight normally searches for current versions of files on your Mac, but using Time Machine you can go back in time and find previous versions or files that you may have deleted.
Do you use Time Machine and want a quick status of activity or your last backup? Well using a simple command to check the Time Machine log file and GeekTool, you can get that information right on your desktop.
Do you use Time Machine? What about an off-site backup? Time Warp (currently in beta) from Jumping Bean Software is a simple to use backup solution that compliments Time Machine to backup your data off-site.
Have you run out of space on your Time Capsule? Or would you like to backup using Time Machine to a disk attached to either your Time Capsule or Airport Extreme. These simple steps will show you how to set it up.
