<p><strong><a href="http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14">How Time Machine works</a></strong></p> From John Siracusa’s Leopard review. The bad news is that Time Machine doesn’t deal well with huge files that have small changes made to them... such as Parallels VM images. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/apple">apple</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/arstechnica">arstechnica</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/john-siracusa">john-siracusa</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/leopard">leopard</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/macos">macos</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/parallels">parallels</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/timemachine">timemachine</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/virtualisation">virtualisation</a></p>
