When I finally got the app running, I promptly hit this error:Īww jeez, that’s frustrating! Since I am working with a Time Capsule (e.g., remote network backup device for Time Machine on my Mac OS X system) I need to do what it indicates, namely mount the remote volume and actually open the disk image. If you have one, enter it here, but if you don’t just wait a few seconds and you can click on “Demo” and proceed with a fully functional application anyway. Now you finally start the actual application, which immediately prompts you for your registration serial number: Since it’s going to be working with Time Machine disk images, it does legitimately need access to root so it can manipulate files and get to the file system. Now, just to make this scary, you need to actually tell this new application you just downloaded your Mac OS X administrator password:

(actually, it’s very useful to get these reminders before you do something dumb and install some malicious software on your computer without thinking about it) Hold on a second, pardner! Are you sure you want to open a disk image that has an app downloaded from the Internet? Yeah, I do, so I click on “OK” and proceed: So I downloaded Back-In-Time 1.0 the first thing I get to decide is if I really want to open up a disk image from a remote Internet source What caught my eye was “Access Time Machine data from other Macs.” That’s what I seek. Preview different versions of each document. Access Time Machine data from other Macs. Features that you can do with Back-In-Time only: Show how many versions of each document are available, and when they were saved. Back-In-Time offers an easy access to all the data backed up by Time Machine. “Back-In-Time… Transcend Time Machine restoration possibilities. Instead, a quick search of produced one splendid sounding match: I first tried just launching “Time Machine” on one of the other Macs on our network, but while that offered a neato view of versions of my existing computer, there was no apparent way to get to other backups of other computers.

It’s quite a versatile box, actually, and I’m a big fan. Here’s how I solved it…įor clarity, “Time Machine” is the backup software system that’s included with Mac OS X and a “Time Capsule” is a physical device that serves as a backup storage system, along with an 802.11g wireless station and simple Ethernet hub. Though my tale is a bit less dramatic (fortunately!) I too recently found myself needing to dig around on a Time Machine backup.
