A quick jot about the impressions of the Time Machine feature of OS-X 10.5 Leopard.
Apple has given me the tools to dissect my computing.
- OS-X “Spaces” gives me the Linux-Like multiple desktops open for one user.
- “Bootcamp” gives me the OS-X or Windows choice.
- and “Time Machine” gives me the dimension of being able to work with a file in its various past incarnations.
So my computing options are like a 3-D matrix – easy navigation through which Operating System, which Work Space and which point in time Back & Forth through Time Machine.
And most importantly after blowing up a couple hard disks is the full backup that resides on my Time Machine serviced External Drive.
Pretty neat options and rather well implemented.

[...] 5 – December – 2007 · No Comments Ok where did those 43 emails containing notes and article write-up outlines & stubs go to? I know I wasn’t at my best when I was trying to move them to their own folder last night…. but it turns out I managed to close OS-X Mail without pasting them anywhere!Essentially I Cut them and Dropped them in electronic ether…. bad move. They disappeared.Forty-Three articles in the making zapped by significant user error… or perhaps not?Enter OS-X 10.5’s TimeMachine Backup system.Painless to roll back to before I messed up.Simple to select the messages needed, and Clicked to Restore them.A bit of whirl and screens moving before the restored messages were restored to a special “Timemachine Restored Messages” folder.Check out my previous posting on Timemachine for more details!http://k9zw.wordpress.com/2007/10/30/time-machine-on-macbook/73SteveK9ZW [...]
