My time machine backup of my laptop is up to 1.4 TB. It does hourly backups for 24 hours, Daily backups for a month, and Weekly backups until it runs out of drive space. It only backs up the files that change and does it in the background so you never notice. The reason they call it time machine is I can open the backup and can cruise thru and image of my drive with folders and all to find whatever version of a file based on the date I need. Pretty nifty. My laptop has 300GB on the drive.

Backup up the backup and it took 19 hours to backup the 1.4 TB backup file.

Since farkling my laptops partitions trying to get boot camp up and running may try reformatting my laptop this weekend and see just how long it takes to restore from a network drive time machine backup. An initial backup can take up to 20 hours. I also have a bootable backup on and external drive, but want to see how long it takes from the time machine backup over my network.

And it's also about time to update my server. That means buying a new one and moving everything to the new server.
