Frozen in Time by Time Machine
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) — ... others have seen this rather arcane message and reported it. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next OS update.

So you just got a hard drive -- now what?
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) — ... Getting a heavy duty back up is not too challenging. If you plug a brand new drive in, your Mac (assuming you have Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard) will ask you if you'd like to use it as a Time Machine drive. Time Machine is Apple's built-in backup solution, and it is great for people who constantly change or update files and sometimes have a good reason to go back and get the old versions. The larger your extra drive, the further you can 'go back in time'. Time Machine allows you to restore all the data, but it can take several hours and may require your original system DVD if your ...

ReBit – Time Machine for Windows
Coolest Gadgets — “So what am I looking at?” “Time machine for Windows.” That was pretty much how the conversation surrounding the Rebit product went and I can’t think of a better description so I’m stealing it! (with apologies to Apple…). Rebit copies any and all changes made to your PC onto a backup drive, silently and automatically. If you ever need to go back to a previous version of a file you can use the normal windows explorer interface to inspect the disk as it was at any given date. The system ...

Getting the little things right in Mac OS X
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) — ... Don't get me started on the error I get 2-3 times a week when Time Machine tells me a backup didn't work, and then the next hour everything is fine. This is another error that has survived several Leopard updates. Like a good citizen, I always do the larger combo updates to have the best chance of replacing any bad system components. ...

Carbonite for Mac Finally Released. Worth the Wait? [WebWorkerDaily]
GigaOM Network — ... Carbonite backs up every file it finds in the User folder, except for applications and system files. You can also manually select additional files to backup (or not backup) through the Finder, although in practice, this didn’t work for me. To restore, you access the “Restore” tab in the preference pane and select the files you want to copy back. Carbonite is not meant to create a full drive backup. For that, look to Apple’s Time Machine or SuperDuper and backup to an external or network drive. Online backup ...

In a nutshell, it provides Time Machine -like backups for PCs. The Seagate Replica itself even looks a bit like Apple’s ...
