Time Machine saves the day!
It’s not every day that you need to use a restore from backup, but it is every day that you should backup.
Today, for the first time in my life, I screwed up and deleted my email archive that I did not back up to an external drive as I always do. Couple months worth of email would be gone.
I was starting to get really pissed at myself, when i remembered Time Machine – Leopard’s new backup function.
So I went into the appropriate folder, clicked the Time Machine icon and voila, I went back couple of days and restored my mailboxes.
I mean I used to backup my whole drive in the past, especially with my notebook, but I did like once a month or something. Time machine backs up my whole system every hour! So my advice? Buy an external drive, or even better, the new Time Machine dedicated Wifi router with integrated HDD and let Time Machine do its magic. One day a similar thing like this would happen to you and you will be grateful.
