Recovering from data loss
For years now it's always been a real effort to encourage and train folk in the techniques to backup data, while knowing that the greatest losses occur not from hardware failure, but from human error involving often just one file. So when Leopard [OSX 10.5] was released sometime ago it was it's Time Machine backup system that excited me and I've been learning to trust and promote it to make all our lives easier ever since.A part of my plans for this site is to publish softwares I come across that define the computer experience in terms of time saved and ease of use - ways to lower stress! And Time Machine is going to feature!

Looked for it this morning and couldn't find the *%&(*^. Cripes! HELP!
Ah - but not to worry - just travel back in time, find the date of the accident and then get the file.
Awesome!
