Mac OS X Time Machine saved my day

Filed under: my 2 cents by 1.618 — April 19, 2009 8:38 pm

I had a couple of files on my Macbook which I accidentally deleted without knowing it until a couple of days ago. They are quite important files and without them I might have to spend hours to recover the loss. So I gave the Time Machine a try. It was simply amazing. I went into the Time Machine and typed in the key words that I vaguely remembered and hoped for the best. The Time Machine started to search all the saved points and in seconds it found those files out and I was able to restored them.

I keep my files on my machines regularly backed up, but I honestly can’t think of anything else that can do this good job on keeping different backup points of the system and make them easy to retrieve. I guess this is especially useful for me since I love doing cleaning up on file that I don’t recognize :) .

  1. That’s a great story. I’m happy to advise that Time Machine just saved my day too! I bought a 1GB disk so I could back up my VMWare Fusion Virtual Machine guests – and while it took 2 days to recover 250GB, it did the business and seriously saved my bacon when the guest machine became corrupted!
