Version control for everyone. "Change Epicenter for Mac. Never lose a file, ever again."

  Isn't that what Timemachine already does?
  • ctdonath 11y ago
    Nope. Your hard drive crashes for any reason, Time Machine data is lost. Think "Photos" for all your files. Think "Time Machine -> Preferences -> Use iCloud".

      Time Machine goes on a separate hard drive. Your data isn't lost unless you lose both drives at the same time. That said, cloud backups would be great to have.

        One word: fire.
        • mikeash 11y ago
          Certainly. I'm fond of saying that data that isn't backed up doesn't exist, and data that isn't off site isn't backed up. But just the same, Time Machine isn't vulnerable to the more mundane sort of hard drive failure.

      So its going to yell at me every day because I have reached the free tier backup limit?
      • ctdonath 11y ago
        Presuming it follows the Photos model, you presumably will be able to easily turn off iCloud usage or upgrade to a paid 20GB-1TB+ plan.

  If "Epicenter" is referring to anything in particular, which it quite possibly isn't, I would guess that it could be referring to a new Apple TV[1] being announced that will serve as a hub (i.e. the device in the center) for HomeKit. [1] Could also be an updated Airport but Apple TV is more likely as 1. it makes more sense overall and 2. it is very likely there will be an update (Apple website currently says that it starts at $69 but there are no other models / configurations).
