Just as a follow up to my own inquiry, I think that time machine with a airport time capsule unit is exactly what I need. I currently have a fairly elaborate software setup on the windows side via fusion to do essentially what time machine does, only I can only go back 7 days. Using a time capsule will give me version control without all the hassle. It’ll run me a few hundred dollars, but I think it’ll be worth it.
