Can Time Machine Keep Milestone Backups?
A client of mine said she wants Time Machine to backup less often, so that it can save OLDER backups (she'd rather have fewer backups going back further).
I told her Time Machine isn't DUPING backed up files, so she can ignore the frequency of (small) backups.
But I am curious --
(1) Can Time Machine be programmed so that it maximizes how far back it goes? More than it already does?
(2) If someone wants to be able to go back 5, 10, 15 years, is the best way to just buy a new backup drive every 5 years, and put the previous ones in storage?
Thanks!
