Line 207:
The section "[[Time_Machine_(OS_X)#Mountain_Lion_.2F_Mavericks_Compatibility_Issues]]" gives the impression (through words such as "massive data loss" and "The backups are readable only by the computer that created them") that the backup from older machines is not readable on newer machines. But as far as I know, the backup format is a HFS+ volume with a file system hierarchy that has a subdirectory for each snapshot date and, in each such directory, mirrors the backed up file system. Therefore the backup volume can be mounted as HFS+ and the files can be restored through normal file copy ("cp -pr" or "tar"). The only part of the backup that is lost are therefore the system files, and the restoration is not exactly immediate. The current wording is therefore grossly exaggerated. OK to reformulate this paragraph? [[User:Professor Tournesol|Professor Tournesol]] ([[User talk:Professor Tournesol|talk]]) 06:27, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Im not sure if you made the current edit inside the [] or not. I think the content is fine but the tone is off. I think it should read more as "if you have x problem, then using y method is a solution." It currently reads more like a defense of Time Machine or of Apple even though it maintains the same content.
