How To Set Up Time Machine Mac
Back up your files with Time Machine on Mac. With Time Machine, you can back up your entire Mac, including system files, apps, music, photos, emails, and documents. When Time Machine is turned on, it automatically backs up your Mac and performs hourly, daily, and weekly backups of your files. I’ve been using Time Machine, a built-in backup program developed by Apple since I bought my first Mac. I tried multiple external hard drives, and I believe I know a thing or two about the process and type of hardware that works best with the Time Machine.

Time Machine For Mac
How does time machine work. I know how the user would use it to go 'back in time' and retrieve data but how does the software work? Does it just do compleate copy's or backups of all the data at set times? Also if you end up saving data from a few months.. what happens once the hard drive is full? does it just discard all the old data and replace it with new data?
Do you have to have a compleatly clean formated hard drive to use time machine?
