I recently received the following question from a relatively new Mac convert:
“Does Time Machine back up to a physical disc or is it to back up to the .mac account?”
Great question!
For those in a hurry …
The official (Apple supported) answer is that Time Machine will not back up to a .Mac account, but will back up to any FireWire or USB external drive directly connected to your Mac. Until the recently, drives connected over a wireless network were not supported either (the introduction of Time Capsule changes this).
For those who are not familiar with Time Machine, check out my previous post for a brief overview.
For those more curious …
