Ok, then, how many of you take regular back up? Chances are that you are not backing up your digital pictures, music and documents! 

Less than four percent of users perform regular back-ups. Apple is thinking of changing this forever now, with the Time Machine, the built-in backup feature that will debut in Mac OS X 10.5. 

A unique feature in Time Machine uses interface that might the boring task of backing up and restoring files into something enjoyable. The best part according to Apple is you may not even have to think too much about the “backing up” exercise. The intelligent Leopard will automatically back up your files as you work on them. 

How about continual chain of several backups over time? Time Machine allows you to turn the clock back in time to find the file you’re looking for. Me thinks this is Ice Berg Cool!!!!

Time Machine backs up every important file on your Mac—system software. Right from your photos, music, documents. What’s more it does this automatically and continuously. This solves the biggest headache relating to back up, cutting time to set up an automated backup system that successfully backs up your entire machine. Apple aims to make the process simple that you don’t need to take any action. Of course dude, you will need to have another hard drive or file server available to store the backups.

So what makes Time Machine "different" from the back up softwares available in the market? Simple, Time Machine is far more superior and pays more attention to usability. 

Apple has plans to target home users with Time Machine. If you are using the Mac in a corporate environment, most probably you are being backed up by network-wide backup solution. As for home users, this will be a major break through. You no longer will have to go through the pain stacking back up process. The Time Machine will do it for us, automatically and continually.

With the advent of Apple's Time Machine, it seems the company making us realize the importance of back up of our digital pictures, music and documents; at the same time making it as simple as possible to make sure we never lose any of them. 

The Mac OS X is a complete package. Apple is planning to ship some good beta stage softwares with it like Boot Camp (over half a million downloads already), Front Row, which gives access to your music and media.
