[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 983470, member: 140470"] If she is deleting files on your computer then it's good that she's making DVD backups as well because once TM deletes its older timeline recovery dates basically the day that she deleted her images on her computer then her DVD backups becomes her only copy of her images. I agree that redundant backup is a good idea since no backup system is perfect. People just need to realize that if they only have one copy of their data then they don't have a backup system. TM is considered a backup because it makes a copy of your computer's hard drive. In other words whenever a person deletes or makes changes to their computer then TM will eventually copy those changes for better or worst even if their files become corrupted. The nice thing about TM is that it will allow a person to restore or recover data from a previous date up to a point though. [/QUOTE]
