\"osx14intromovie\"<\/a>I was working on a website the other day and my setup is pretty typical… work on a local copy and then upload to the live site after.\u00a0 It gets complicated when there are multiple people working one project.\u00a0 To make a long story short, something happened with one of my files and it ended up that the file on the server and on my Mac was 0 bytes.\u00a0 That’s not good.\u00a0 Not the end of the world because I knew that another person working on the site probably had a copy of the file.\u00a0 The file was probably like only 8K in size but if I did it over, it was a probably an extra 1-2 hours of work.\u00a0 I called up the other guy but no answer.\u00a0 Then I realized that I have Mac OS Leopard and an external hard drive.\u00a0 What does that mean?\u00a0 It means that I have “Time Machine.”\u00a0 Time Machine is basically an automatic backup program that let’s you go back to a version of a file from a previous day or restore a file that you have accidentally deleted.\u00a0 I ran Time Machine and there was the file.\u00a0 Of course, I could have waited to get the file from the other guy but I was able to get the file right away and what if I was the only one working on the site?\u00a0 That would have not been good.\u00a0 That one feature alone for me is reason enough to get a Mac.\u00a0 Actually it was one of the main reasons why I upgraded from Mac OS 10.4 to 10.5.\u00a0 Of course, all Macs that you buy from here on will have this featured built in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
