[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 1406542, member: 88633"] You need an external hard drive. The point of Time Machine is to have backups of things not only if you accidentally delete them but also if your internal HD fails, which it eventually will. Just plug in an external drive that's been formatted for OSX. If it hasn't been formatted for OSX, you can do it yourself using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. A dialogue box will probably pop up and ask if you want to use the drive for your Time Machine backups. Click yes and it will start backing up your HD. It may take several hours depending on how much stuff is on your HD. It will then make regular backups of your system. Should you need to recover anything, click on the Time Machine icon in your Dock (or in your Applications folder) and your screen will transform into the TM interface where you can flip back and forth through time to find the document you are missing.
