Hello Søren,

I haven't tried a full restore from Time Machine, but I have rescued deleted mail and other deleted files


To retrieve a deleted file or earlier version of a file, just go to the Dock and open Time Machine while still in the application that created the file you want to restore. Use the Window Chooser menu to select Time Machine Controls and it should be pretty obvious from there.

Cheers,

Anne

Okay. Thanks for your answer. Last question: How do you restore a backup? I played around with Time machine yesterday, and I found a restore feature in Disc Utility, but it seems as that restore feature does only work with some special filetypes. I tried to open the Time machine application, but it looks weird. It doesn't seems to be very accessible with VO. Do I really need the installation cd to restore a Time machine backup? I can't find anything in the Time machine preferences...
Best regards

Nope, they aren't any different. I'm not sure what you mean by Apple's external verses any other external. Apple doesn't make drives themselves. They sell the Lacie (incorrect spelling, but sounds that way) which apparently are very good drives. Apple tends to sell products as accessories that have done well. So, you aren't limited to any particular drive. It's been a good while, but if you get a new drive, you may wish to partition and/or format for Mac OS as I don't recall, but believe most drives come formatted for windows. Of course don't quote me because my mind is a terribly wasted thing. Oh of course I nearly forgot to answer your question. If you mean is the drive in my Time Capsule called Time Capsule, no, it is referred to by the name of the router. My router might be called remote-world1 and that is what the disk in the router is called. As far as do you have to name an external Time Capsule for purposes of backing up with Time Machine etc. no. Hope that answers your questions and if you have others, just ask away.

Is your external harddisc called time capsule? Are there any differences between a normal external harddisc and external Apple harddisc? I've find other external harddiscs much cheeper than Apples external harddiscs.
