if only ZFS hadn't fallen through! Speaking of which, are there any public plans to do this with APFS or are they just trying to push everyone into the cloud?
- anyfoo 5y agoThe video is grainy, but isn't that still the TimeMachine UI since then? And with APFS at least it now also integrates snapshots, not just external backups?
- jedberg 5y agoThe current interface doesn't have the stars and space theme, but yeah, it's pretty much the same.
- jedberg 5y agoYeah it was the perfect UX for ZFS. Real shame the two couldn't have evolved together.
- kitsunesoba 5y agoFrom what I'm reading, Time Machine has been using APFS snapshots for local snapshots since High Sierra, and since Big Sur for the primary backup (assuming target drive is APFS formatted).
- diskzero 5y agoI wrote the Time Machine interface and was sweating like mad sitting in the third row or so during the demo. It was a lot of fun getting all the animations and UI elements sliding around smoothly. One interesting fact about the entire presentation of all the new features is that all of the backup Macs but one had crashed by the end. If you watch closely you can see the mirrored demo machines switching in when the live demo box locks up. Whee!
- jedberg 5y agoThat's awesome! Well done! I loved that interface (and still do). That's funny about the backup machines. I always knew they had backups, but didn't realize it was that many.
- Cadwhisker 5y agoNice choice of username, then ;)
- bullfightonmars 5y agoThat was such a great demo of Leopard. I think that was the first demo I watched back in 2006 and I got my first Macbook Pro a few months later.
