Take the 2-minute tour ×  If there is an application, does it
work like "Time Machine" where it save backups of your computer
and if wanted, go back to an earlier time on the computer for
example where an virus was not there?  Here is an definition of
Time Machine that Apple wrote:   share|improve this question add
comment  2 Answers  up vote 7 down vote accepted  You could give
a try to Back in Time. It is in repository.  In documentation he
explains why he do it.  Why did I write the application ? When I
read about Apple’s TimeMachine I thought it’s nice tool to have.
I searched for equivalent applications for Linux and I find
TimeValut and FlyBack.  Since February I'm making backups with
it, but never had tried a full or partial restore.  It uses
rsync and not the mechanism like inotify used by Time Machine.
So it is running every x time and not each time the file is
wrote.  share|improve this answer So you recommend Back in Time
as a good equivalent to Time Machine? –  jaorizabal Mar 15 '12
