What if you are dong large scripts that tale many hours and the user decodes to do things that will slow it down. Whwn you are using Time Machine you can trust that it will keep working and not cause a crash. At least I have never had it crash.
Can you trust this large script will not crash or should you inform the user the chances of a crash will increase if they use other memory intensive applications. Is there a way to prevent it?
