Mac vs. PC - Time Machine

Watch the following (It's a Mac vs. PC commercial based on Time Machine)




Imagine, your PC computer crashed, you have not updated your computer recently and you have no copy of the information your computer held.  Now imagine, your MAC computer crashed, you have not updated your computer recently... BUT all of your computer information has been automatically backed up your computer using an application called Time Machine.  Well, this is what this commercial is based on, Time Machine.


All Mac's come with Time Machine, but it is the users choice to have it on or off.  Obviously it would be a bright idea to have it on because if your computer does for some reason crash, then whether you backed it up previously or not, there will always because a copy of you computers information on Time Machine.

Now, just because Time Machine is available it would still be a bright idea to back up your computer because you may have had your Time Machine off, therefore it wouldn't have backed up anything.

Even though Time Machine may take up quite a bit of memory, it is better to have it then to not because you will always have a back up of your computer.  Even if you delete a file and realize later that file is actually very valuable to you, then you can always go to Time Machine and find it.  Whenever you delete a file, your computer will always keep the file stored in Time Machine.  Also when deleting your History in Safari or Fire Fox, Time Machine will always keep a record of those websites you visited, just incase you want to go back and visit them in the future.

Well, that concludes this blog. Remember, always have Time Machine on, with Time Machine you will have everything you have ever done on your Mac all backed up.

Happy New Year everyone!

  1. This is very useful and interesting; however, why is the Mac Time Machine back up system more useful than a PC's back up system?
