[QUOTE="pantstofry, post: 805692, member: 81330"] Hey all you new users, I just wanted to tell you all that it is a GREAT idea to buy Apple's Time Capsule and use it with Time Machine. I am not advertising for Apple when I say this. It backs up every hour until the disk is full and then starts deleting the oldest backups. Usually I use it to restore small errors, such as accidentally deleting a file. However, recently, my hard drive on my MacBook Pro died (which is rare on a Mac) and I would have lost all my data. I have AppleCare (also recommended) and they repaired the HD in a day, and I was able to get EVERYTHING back. It would have been devastating to lose all that. If you need a reason to use Time Machine or buy Time Capsule, think about this, and if it happened to you. How much would you lose? Backing up isn't a hassle, either. There's just too much to lose. By the way, to show I'm not just advertising Apple, you can buy any external HD and use it with Time Machine the same way. [/QUOTE]
