Time Machine? Apple's getting way advanced!
I had to look that one up since I don't know nothing about no Apple. Windows has something similar with System Restore although that one just reverts your machine to the point in time that you take a "snapshot" of the system. It does not actively back up your drive. Using an external drive is a good move. Most people using System Restore will use their single internal drive. I don't have any options like that. I can live with that.
