A student was just in my office asking about backup software, and this is the big kahuna I’ve heard so much about. Time Machine ships with new Macs and with an upgrade to Leopard. It lets you view past versions of your finder window to retrieve lost or crash-damaged files. It requires an external hard drive. If you’re like me and don’t have Leopard yet, Justin Williams at MacZealots has a helpful review of other Mac-friendly back-up solutions, including the free iBackup. Check it out and remember: the data you save may be your own.
