Revision as of 05:36, 30 November 2007
No subject
Do you think it's worth mentioning that Acer once had a system restoration program called Time Machine? [1] Apple's Time Machine still seems far superior, but I'm wondering if this could fall under a trivia section. Gordeonbleu 18:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
The main point is that there is already an existing trademark for a software program called Time Machine. Listing the future product from Apple stomps on the trademark owners efforts to market a product for a similar purpose. Michaelmorrison 20:39, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- But it's not for a similar purpose, it's a way to change program time without changing system time, while Apple's product is a backup utility. I have seen software with different purposes but the same name before. Anyway, it's not Wikipedia's place to arbitrate these things, only to describe them. This is no different than any other disambiguation situation. --Jamoche 20:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- No, I'm talking about Acer's Time Machine software, which came bundled with Acer computers in the early 2000s, before System Restore was introduced in Windows Me. It is exactly a backup utility, just as with Apple's Time Machine. I'm not suggesting a new article. I'm just asking whether we should have a subsection called "Trivia", and then note this fact. See here: [2] Gordeonbleu 01:34, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Someone should compare and contrast Time Machine with Windows Server Volume Shadow Copy, introduced with Windows Server 2003. Michaelcox 19:35, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Since it is similar feature (Volume shadow copy) to Windows, it should be mention. I just feel that apple give a nice name rather than revolutionary feature. Kyawtun 12:18, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Leopard's Time Machine and rg. Volume Shadow Copies do not have anything in common. Volume Shadow Copies is a file system feature as Time Machine's a front end to a backup system which again does not work like Volume Shadow Copies acting on Files but on structured application data. Eg. with Time Machine it is Possible to restore one calendar event even though it is not stored in a separate file on disk. I'll change the article section according to this. —Feuermurmel 13:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- I worked on this section which seemed vague to me. I looked for information to back up the statements that were there, and didn't find much except for some pretty seriously emotional blogs! But, I used 'em and cited 'em. --joeOnSunset 18:31, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

What about Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files? Does it offer the same functionality? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.77.115.238 (talk • contribs) 14:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC-8)

Encryption info is probably wrong and/or misleading
I made an encrypted disk image, mounted it, then tried to get TM to back up to it. Doesn't show up in TM's list of possible destinations.
The article says that backing up an encrypted disk image will work. If the files from the mounted image are backed up, they will backed up unencrypted. If the encrypted image itself is backed up, and if the image is not tiny, this will be extremely inefficient, and if it is even in fact reliable, it will have to lock out access to the disk image during the backup of the disk image, and even then, who knows whether the image is in a consistent stat at such time as TM tries to back it up. This all needs careful investigation before the article goes on to make sweeping statements such as it does.
I think the best option is for TM to allow backing up to a mounted, encrypted disk image.

Whole hard drive ?
From article:
Time Machine requires using a whole hard drive or hard drive partition to perform backups. File-level backups, such as using just a folder on a partition of a hard drive instead of requiring the use of the whole drive or partition, cannot be done through Time Machine.
This needs so be precised. Time Machine does not "take over" the whole disk, it creates a directory (IIRC "Backups.db") at the root of the drive and keep its backups inside taking as much space as it needs, deleting the oldest backup if there isn't enough free space. (I can post a screenshot of TimeMachine documentation if needed)
Which means that if you put files on your disk, it will not delete these files. Just take over the existing free space. If you want to add files to your disk, you can manually free some space by deleting some backups and then copy your files.
As long as you don't mess up with the Time Machine backup directory, you are free to copy any files to your backup hard drive.
