Backup Utilities Backups are very important and continue to be important with Rewind. With Rewind, you can recover what you screwed up 10 minutes ago, or 10 days ago, all from your own hard drive, and in seconds. In the ideal situation, the backup is your insurance for when your hardware breaks or is stolen. That may be never, but that's why we buy insurance. Rewind is not insurance.
Every user makes mistakes.
Rewind's continuous protection of your entire system provides a safety net that will increase your productivity and significantly reduce, if not eliminate downtime. You'll feel better if you do backups, but you'll love Rewind. Most of these tools are very good and if things go right, might help you recover lost data or diagnose a sick system. But these tools take time, and frankly, if you don't know what you're doing they may do more damage than good. Rewind offers a magic bullet to problems that occur on your Mac.
