Let’s say i have 10GB of MP3 files, which i backup with Time Machine, then i remove about 5GB of files from my MacBook to free some space. My MacBook drive is only 80GB big, so i can never have the complete contents of my external drive on my MacBook. I have an external drive with about 300G of files, including lots of music and video files. Time Machine makes an exact copy of your hard driveĮspecially that last ‘feature’ is very irritating to me.You can’t make a list of things you want to have backed up, you can only exclude folders from your complete hard disk.You have to leave your drive on all the time to make sure Time Machine makes backups.That drive has to be formatted in HFS+, hence, without any (commercial) third-party plugins it’s not readable on Windows or Linux systems.You need to get a seperate external hard drive that can only be used for Time Machine (and has to be formatted first).There are a couple of things that make Time Machine very unsuitable for me: But is Time Machine the perfect backup solution? I don’t think so. Not a pretty foresight.įortunately, Mac Leopard users have a program called Time Machine that makes things a lot easier. Apparently, 30 procent of all computer users lose all of their files sometime in their life.
