Here’s the deal:
My Mac backup is automatic – I can go to my Time Machine backup drive (USB 1TB) and it is exactly like the drive it backs up – applications, settings, preferences, folders, files, etc. all intact – and multiple chronological copies.
I can open, move, search, and copy files, burn them to disk, email them, and I CAN BOOT FROM THE DRIVE IF MY PRIMARY DRIVE CRASHES. And I take the drive home with me every day. When I start my workday, I simply plug it in.
With Windows backup, and third party backup software, you only get a proprietary backup file that has to be recovered in its entirety before you can even use it.
I don’t get it. It seems like someone would create a solution that basically clones your hard drive once to a network or removable drive, then automatically updates all new and changed files and settings without user intervention.
Anyone?
