[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1916250, member: 83420"] [USER=403466]@bigscreen[/USER] You have not misunderstood anything as such. Time Machine has two major functions: 1. Deleted a file, folder, PPT presentation - no problem. Enter TM, go back to date when said data was still there, select file and hit "Restore". 2. When you get a new Mac, power it up and sign in to Apple ID etc, etc, then restore all your data and Settings from your TM backup. If you ever need detailed instructions on how to do these things, just ask. What TM is not there for is a substitute for a BU storage facility. For that, one would use another EHD or any of the many commercial BU storage options. Using them, one would backup all or crucial data, Photos Library, Music Library; that sort of thing. And there are many online BU options as well. I've just scratched the surface of a complex series of systems. Need advice on detail; just ask. Ian [/QUOTE]
