Seriously thought, time machine isn't that great. It's not configurable at all and doesn't work well with wireless NAS. Who wants to lug an external drive around with their laptop so time machine can run backups every hour. In my experience it's a serious resource hog too (but I forced it to work with a wireless NAS) Daily backups would be enough I think - especially if you could run more frequent backups as you see fit. OSX may be better than windows but it's still proprietary crap.<br> <br>-jim<br></div></div>-- <br>Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.<br>See <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html">http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html</a>
