You need to be able to go back a few days and try opening the file as it existed last week. A “regular” backup system would have backed up the corrupt file– that is, your backup file would be corrupt too. Imagine: your Quicken file opened last week, but it doesn’t today.
All of a sudden, your Quicken file won’t open.Why is that important? Well, imagine this scenario: Keep in mind that Time Machine saves a snapshot of your machine after every backup. No other backup system is as easy to set up nor as easy to restore from, and if you’re not using it already I’m here to talk you into it. When you need to restore files, Time Machine is ready to restore a single file, an entire folder, your whole Mac– or anything in between.
Once set up, Time Machine works in the background, backing up your Mac every hour. So is setting up a new hard drive, in case you upgrade your Mac to a bigger, faster disk. Setting up a new Mac is a piece of cake if you have a Time Machine backup of the old Mac. Time Machine can be used to restore individual files, or an entire Mac. Time Machine will back up every file on every drive you connect to your Mac, automatically, unless you tell it not to. Time Machine backs up to a disk, not to “the cloud,” so Step One is “get a disk to back up to.” For best results, devote an entire disk to the backup task. The odds are very very good that your Mac has Time Machine already installed. Every new Mac has it, and most old ones do too, as it was introduced with System 10.5 (Leopard). Click “Yes” when asked if you want to use this disk for Time Machine backups.Buy an external hard drive (here are some good options).Here’s our product table again, with center-aligned prices and right-aligned stock information.(First in a series of backup-related blog posts) And finally, for center alignment, add two colons, like: :-:.For right alignment, add a colon to the right, like: -:.To align left, add a colon to the left, like :- (this is the default).Alignment is specific around the dashes below the header cell: You can align columns to the left, center, or right. This will give the exact same result as the table above: Item | Price | # In stock You don’t need to make the table look pretty. See our Markdown cheat sheet for all the Markdown formatting you might need. Use at least 3 dashes to separate the header cells.You can make it look as pretty or as ugly as you want: | Item | Price | # In stock | A table is ‘drawn’ using something resembling ASCII art.
