Making backups on a Mac
Time Machine is a backup software application distributed with the Apple OS X computer operating system. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Machine_(OS_X)
Additional software:
TimeMachineEditor is a software for OS X that lets you change the default one-hour backup interval of Time Machine. You can change the interval or create a more sophisticated scheduling (see screenshot below).
This is useful if you don’t need to backup every hour and don’t want the performance penalty. This is also especially useful if you manipulate lots of data within one hour as you would spend the whole day backing up.
Making backups on Windows
Lifehacker writes:
- Back up to the internet (recommended) with a program like Crashplan or Backblaze. This is preferred. It’s very easy to set up, and ensures that your data is kept safe even if your house catches fire or gets burgled. (And if you have a lot of data, they can send you a hard drive for the initial backup).
- Back up to an external drive with Windows 7 Backup, Windows 8’s File History, or OS X’s incredibly easy-to-use Time Machine. You can also back up to an external drive with Crashplan, as described above. External drives are okay, but this method won’t protect you in case of fire or theft. If you use an external drive, you should still back up your most important files to an online service like Dropbox, if they don’t take up too much space. (Make sure you use a quality external drive, too.)
Michael writes about CrashPlan:
Incidentally, for anyone here considering getting CP: I get CrashPlan Pro via a UK reseller (http://www.ceejay.net/ ), so I get to use their Amsterdam servers, which are (a) inside the EU (which is important for some people), and (b) way faster than the US ones.
The guys at Ceejay also answer any support questions almost immediately, and even send you personal emails if they see that something is awry with your backups.
