Has anyone used the mac backup? Time Machine? It's simple, but the interface is slick!!!
Very slick!! So slick that my wife who is a complete noob backs up her computer from time to time to her portable hard drive. On the other hand, I think Time Capsule is pretty dumb!! Single hard drive = EPIC FAIL! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Weeden Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 3:36 PM To: hardware Subject: Re: [H] Win7 Super Long Backups? I don't have a ton of experience with Win7 backups but I think the first time it takes a lot longer than it does afterwards (or at least it should). This is because the first time it copies everything, whereas each successive time it should only copy those files which have changed. So unless a large portion of that 350GB is constantly changing, future backups should be fine. It also might make a difference if you have a lot of small files in the backup. --------------------------- Brian Weeden Technical Advisor Secure World Foundation <http://www.secureworldfoundation.org> +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US On Sun, Jan 3, 2010 at 7:20 AM, Anthony Q.
