My backups on Time Machine go back to April. I feel pretty darn safe.
Time Machine running smoothly

Wow, that initial backup took forever. But after that first one, all of the subsequent backups get finished in no time! I’m really like this Time Machine backup utility. Not only does it do the job it’s supposed to automatically, it also makes the restoring and searching aspect of data recovery fun with its graphical user interface.
If there’s one thing done incredibly well in Leopard, I’d say it’s this. I won’t bother posting a video because YouTube is already chock-full of video demonstrations of the product, so if you really want to see it in action, I suggest you head over there.
Getting into Time Machine
March 7, 2009 @ 2:59 pm
Data loss has happened to me twice in the past year and I’m not about to let it happen again. I’m a bit late to the game, but I’m finally taking some steps to make sure I have my data backed up by redundant drives. My teachers would kill me if they knew I was just getting into this now especially since it’s literally been drilled in my head to back up my stuff since the first day of classes.
In any case, I am finally doing it and it’s already giving me some sense of comfort in case anything ever should happen to my main drive (let’s hope not). For the first time ever, I’m making use of Leopard’s built-in Time Machine application and so far it seems to be running smoothly. Although, there’s no way I’ll know for sure until something terrible happens. But from what I hear, it’s as good a backup program as any other one out there. Also, Apple’s demo looks very intriguing.
So here’s hoping that it works as advertised.
