Hi all, I am always seeing people on here and in other places sayi9ng, "make sure you keep a Time Machine backup" or similar things. I know time machine is a backup/recovery tool for the mac, but I am not sure beyond that. 1. Will any external hard drive work? 2. Do I need to format it in a special way? If so, can I make a partition on it to use for backups and leave the rest readable by Windows computers? 3. Is time machine fully accessible? 4. Are time machine backups readable? That is, if I wanted a file off an old backup but did not want to restore the whole thing, could I just browse to that file and copy it like normal? 5. Is anything not backed up? 6. If I had to restore, and I had newer files than in the backup, what happens? In other words, is there a way to restore only system folders so that files modified since the backup are not overwritten with older versions? Thanks in advance. -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) mehg...@gmail.com; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap
