You're incorrect on one factor here. For the most part, you're dead spot on,
but you don't need a time capsle to do a Time Machine backup. Just beware.
It'll work just by plugging an external drive into the system. Time Capsles
are really cool, don't get me wrong, but they're really not necessary in this
case.

I can see chris's points because time machine is really not a true back up
and also since you need a time capsel, or airport express router and the like
for time machine to work the way chris stated to do a true back up would be
more of the slutation then time machine.

Of course it’s a true backup, when the hell is it a requirement to boot off
the backup. By this logic Veritas and the rest of the mass backup solutions
aren’t a backup either. Just because the data is stored in a database or in an
on-tap file system or time machine doesn’t mean it’s not a full backup. If you
restore from time machine you’ll get back to exactly where you were when that
snapshot was taken. IF I used a terabyte tape library would that make my
backup less valid because you don’t boot from tape? I don’t get it.
Helga, Time Machine will do exactly what you want to do and secure that
school data just fine.

The problem with Time Machine is, it's not an exact image of your drive.
It's great for basic things, and for backing up your apps, files, and settings,
but if you want to really get technical, it's not, at the end of the day, a
true OS backup regardless what anyone says. For instance, show me how to boot
from a time machine backup. You can't. Point I hope taken. At least, if you
*can!* literally boot from a drive soly created by TM, then I'm totally
unaware of how to do so.
This is exactly why I use Super Duper. Though they'd encourage you to
buy and register it, you don't actually have to. It never will expire on you,
but there are just some features that won't be enabled. Those features by no
means are door stoppers though. For instance. I'm a pro musician as a lot of
you know.
So, when a new major OS like this comes out, it's always the million
dollar question, will ProTools work with this OS with no problems? At first,
usually, the answer is no. But, I always try anyway. This being said, I don't
use Time Machine for those situations. I'll instead fire up Super Dooper, take
an exact bootable, mind you, snapshot image of my drive's current state, then,
I'll update, and if something goes disastrous, it's no big deal. I just roll
back from that image I made, and within an hour or two, I'm downgraded and
right back in perfect working order as if I'd never updated to start with.
So yeah, call me weird. I like the idea of what Apple did with Time
Machine, but I just don't think it's fair to tell people it's a full backup
sollution. It's not. It sort of is, but it sort of isn't, if you catch my
jidst. If all you want is to back up your files, settings, and apps, then OK,
whatever, go for it, but if you're really wanting to be the most optimally safe
as possible, then look into a full backup sollution like Super Duper, or
Carbon Copy Cloner, etc. Trust me, in the long run, it just may save you a day
or more of hard hard work.

Time machine is extremely easy to use, almost as soon as you connect
your back up drive to the computer it will come up and start the backup. If it
does not for any reason either open finder and look under apps and choose time
machine. If you need to you can choose the backup drive and click to show
it the time machine app that is.

Subject: Suggestions in how can I back up information of my Mac

Hi all! How are you all? So I want to back up my mac before updating to
Sierra guys. I heard of time machine, but will that back up all my information
I have and so on. If so, I don't know how to set time machine in order to
use it with my mac. Or Is there any other tools that you recommend I can use
in order to back up my information of my mac computer better? On my Mac
computer I have VM ware fusion running windows, and I hve my OS 10,and i use
both of them for school assignments and so on. I'm just backing up my
information just in case something could occur with my computer. In regards of
Virtual machines they can also be back up in order not to lose information of
it right? I wil really appreciate it a lot if you guys can give me any
feedback about this. I look forward in hearing from you soon. Thanks and God
bless!
