Why Time Machine will be such a hit

Filed in archive Utilities on October 27, 2007

Last week, Apple finally released Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5, to the public. One of the main features that makes it a bit attractive is Time Machine, an easy to use, user-friendly way to manage your back-up routine. Whilst I do back-up regularly, it is often a pain when you need to restore a file or two from your back-ups, now with Time Machine, it is easy.

Why Time Machine will be such a hit


Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Linux. ITWire's Adam Turner and I share the same sentiments when it comes to backing up data on Linux, it is back-up hell, to borrow his term.

I am hoping that Apple's Time Machine will jump start the practice of backing up data, which a majority of you people still do not do because of the hassles of retrieving specific data from your repositories.

SO, the challenge is now on - what will be the name of the first Linux tool to compete against Mac OS X's Time Machine?
