Just wondering if anyone has tried Yojimbo with Time Machine
yet? Since Yojimbo stores all of its files as one giant
database --
almost 2 gigabytes for me -- I'm wondering if Time Machine knows how
to back it up incrementally, or whether it just copies a new version
of the database on every backup?
There is a fairly detailed review Time Machine and some of the
underlying details of how it works and why at
<http://feeds.arstechnica.com/~r/arstechnica/BAaf/~3/176498831/mac-os-x-10-5.ars>.
From the information presented there it is apparent Time
Machine's granularity is at the file level. That is, Time
Machine will copy any changed file in its entirety rather than
incrementally. Note, it is only changed files that are copied.
Also, your phrasing isn't totally clear here. "back it up
incrementally" could be taken to mean "back up Yojimbo's
database incrementally". If so, then no Time Machine doesn't do
this. Or, your phrase could be taken to mean "back up the hard
drive incrementally". If so, Time Machine does do this.
Note,I haven't yet installed Leopard (I plan to do so this
weekend). So, my comments above are based on what others have
written rather than direct experience.
