Q: Can I use snap shot without an external backup in place
When I purchased my MacBook Air from Best Buy a year ago, I was told that backup was automatically done with a daily, weekly, monthly... just as Snap Shot describes. He failed to tell me that I had to set it up myself! Now A YEAR LATER, suspecting Malware or worse, I discover that I DO NOT HAVE A BACKUP O ANYTHING on my system! In trying to set it up now, it appears that Snap Shot cannot be use unless I also have set up an alternate external backup.
Can anyone confirm this (or PLEASE, by all means DISPUTE it and tell me how to access my backed up documents!)?
Using OSX 10.9.5; Processor 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
Thank you!
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
