Simon’s Space → slog

My old blog, simon.job.id.au, had run dry of content.  What I wanted to post was quick unimportant links to stuff.  So, I’ve shifted to tumblr, a micro-blog.

Time Machine

Our iMac contains all our photos, music and videos, so losing any of it would not be good.  So, when the iMac’s hard drive failed, I was a little anxious to see if Apple’s Time Machine would work as advertised.  It did.  At the end of re-installing the operating system, I selected to transfer the backup from the Time Capsule, and once that was completed (300Gb over a couple of hours) everything was back to normal - it was like the computer was before it failed.
