Quality time with Time Machine
I think Time Machine is fantastic, particularly when used with a Time Capsule. For this week, I just thought I would do a quick roundup of a few tricks and news I have collected on Time Machine.
Tip 1. There was this week an interesting software released, that allows access to Time Machine via the command-line. That's right. Instead of flying through space, you can just type some text and get some lines of text back, the good old way. The CLI version tms was developed by Robert Pointon who runs the FernLightning website. It was designed to accept VCS-like command (which means similar to what you would do with version control software such as Subversion). Learn all about it on the tms website.
Tip 2. One question that I never really asked myself, but should have is: what happens with Time Machine when you log out? In short, nothing. But if you want Time Machine to keep running and save that last document you updated before logging out, learn about it by reading the Adventures of Systems Boy (sic!).
Tips 3, 4, ..., ∞. Last but not least, all you ever wanted to know about Time Machine and never thought you could even think of asking, you will find on Sven-S. Porst's site.
