I think seure delete will still put things away for good. Secure delete (or secure empty trash) overwrites the desired sector three times. Mostly irrecoverable after that.

yep secure delete will do the trick, currently stuffit has a secure delete alias as well. I assume this will be built into timeMachine. Cool feature but where is the iphone haha.

I think its aimed at the consumer market who dont fill up their drive much. I assume that it will use some compression/versioning system to help keep the data file size down, and there will be a preference where you choose how much hard drive space to reserve for this..

great idea
better if you have time machine delete as well

I've nothing to hide, it's just a very powerful tool, and I'm interested and hearing what you guys have to say.

Every TimeMachine screenshot I've seen has an external drive mounted.

hahaha... 'flux capicitor'...'mr. fusion'...
.... seriously though... when I press delete... I should probably want to delete it... right? Not to mention the trash which stores all the shit until you kill it again...
... what's the compression like? I kill files to free up space on my drive... if there's a permanent 'back-up'... what kind of compression are they using and where are they storing it?...
... and really... this tool is for 'tools'... not folks such as yourselves who should have running back-ups of your work. :)
I keep two external drives of everything I work on... which seems a little smarter to me...
I find being able to 'restore' anything fishy... because it MUST BE compressed and stored somewhere on your local drive (and taking up storage and paging files space)... meaning... why the f%ck do you even have a delete key?
nah mean?
this would be a feature I'd 'turn off' if you have the option.
Give me the power in the chips and the processor... I don't need the 'tard tools...

sweet lord... I just read it through more thoroughly...
it's just a fucking back-up system... Pure and simple... Ya'll need to go change your pants and get back to work... :)

It's actually a flux capacitor but I got what you meant and it was still funny.
