Backup - Apple style - video

Asher Kelman

OPF Owner/Editor-in-Chief
This is wonderful for fires, earthquakes floods or crashes! One just goes back to the date you want and everything is back.

1. This means one has to have an upload line that is fast enough or an on site backup that is taken offsite.

2. Also, how does one secure erase with this new system?

3. Can one access it even if ones computer is destroyed by going to one's .mac account?

4. How much does the online storage service cost?

1. Off site will be used by most folk.
2. Guess what, it won't be easy, unless you also wipe your backups, but that has always been the case for anyone who backs up data.
3. Only if you have a really small amount of data. One thing that a dot mac account is not good at at present is large amounts of data storage.
4. I haven't seen pricing, sorry.
