I Love Time Machine …
Three days ago, I turned on my MacBook, and heard a series of “clicking” sounds emitted from her, I dreaded that my harddrive in my MacBook crashed. Thankfully, I wasn’t in a middle of any critical projects else it would be a nightmare.
Fortunately, during “peace-time” I didn’t put in much effort in backing up my Mac. Yeap, all I did was just plugging in my external 160GB harddrive to my Mac at least once every 3 days for regular backups. Time Machine seamlessly runs its back up magic behind the scene whilst I’m working, and meticulously archiving all my documents and application settings with a breeze.
It was my first experience to put Time Machine to task and restore my MacBook now equipped with a brand new harddrive. And I must say, it was amazing and it did a incredibly splendid job – easy and without a hassle. After installing the Operating System, I plugged my Time Machine harddrive in, launched the nifty Migration Utility Assistant, and with a click of just one radio-button, boom, my Mac was restored like how it was 2 days before the crash.
Time Machine saved me from my perils of reinstalling applications and the pains of re-customising my application preferences. And best of all, it allows me to immediately carry on with my work, from where I left off. And strangely, I actually secretly look forward in experiencing my next backup restore! But only with Time Machine …
