Get Ready for Time Machine

Get a great deal on a USB hard disk from the Apple Store.

Iomega 500GB external hard diskI’m in the middle of writing an article about my top ten favorite Leopard features (look for it on October 26 after 6 PM). One of those features is Time Machine, which I really think will simplify my backup procedures and help protect all of my data.

Of course, to back up an entire 500GB hard disk, you need a 500GB hard disk to put all the data on. So imagine my delight when I saw that the Apple Store has a 500GB high speed USB hard disk for just $139.95. Just in time for Time Machine backups.

Check it out here.

    So my Mac is a MacBook Pro, and clearly I’m not going to carry the external disk around with me all the time… I assume that Time machine will do magic things that let backup / synchronisation happen without me worrying, whenever I connect it to my chosen Time Machine disk?

    I guess I’ve got a lot of new learning to do come Oct 26th.

    I can’t answer your question — yet. (I take non-disclosure very seriously.) Let’s just say that you don’t need to worry about it, as long as you plug in that hard disk when you can.
