In Leopard, Apple introduced a new backup solution that is pretty sweet. It is called time machine. It allows you to go to any folder in any point in time. It makes backups of changed files every hour for a day, every day for a week, and a backup for every week for as much space you have. Many products offer this kind of solution, however, I think that apple again differentiates themselves by the ease of retrieving files from your backup with the elegant user interface. Below is a video of this in action. What really amazed me tonight was that it just wasn’t folders/files you can retrieve, it works with applications. I entered time machine while i was in my mail program. My desktop dropped as I entered time machine and my computer went into the time machine universe. All of a sudden I was able to go view my inbox at what it looked like at any point in time. Try not to be too jealous Jeff.
