[QUOTE="giulio, post: 538035, member: 28677"] TM saved me last night. I needed an older version of a document... while working live on a website with 3 other parties on conference, one of them being UPS for integration. WHEW that got dicey. But TM did it's job and the meeting was a success. The site launches Friday evening =) For my line of work, I only need daily versions, not hourly. So I modified the preference file manually to run every six hours instead of each hour. The first backup takes a long time, eats up all of your ram, and puts a monopoly on the HD. For the first backup I suggest doing it just before you go to bed. In the morning reboot the machine. The very awesomest thing about TM is the arrows. Instead of guessing the last time a revision was made to a document... you just select the document and click the 'past' arrow. TM will glide you through time to the very next version of the document. MAGIC. [/QUOTE]
