Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced a back-up device called Time Capsule at Macworld in San Francisco on Tuesday, which automates the Time Machine backup application in Mac OS X Leopard.
There are some common elements in how IT professionals and home users deal with backup: the need for backups to happen automatically and quietly, and to be easily and quickly restored when the proverbial hits the fan.
Writing a blog is an open invitation to correction, ridicule and abuse, and writing a blog entry about anything to do with Apple greatly magnifies all those possibilities.
Apple also used the event to launch its latest bid for storage supremacy: the Time Capsule. For Mac-loving households, this might be good news, but as a business storage solution it leaves a lot to be desired.

If companies are serious about protecting their vital information, says Peter Cochrane, they may want to consider two locations unlikely to be damaged by terrorist attacks, hackers or global warming -- the Antarctic or the moon.
Apple Time Capsule's hybrid 802.11n wireless router/networked hard drive offers some powerful data backup features for Mac owners, as well as Apple's typical pleasing design. Windows users and anyone who demands speed from their 802.11n network will be disappointed.
Apple debuts its new wireless backup device at Macworld 2008.
At a very affordable price, the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 makes a great entry-level Wireless-N router and would satisfy most situations where a wireless network is needed.
The Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router has consistent performance, good range, a helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. Its lack of gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.
The D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685 is a very good single-band Wireless-N router; however, its extra features hardly justify the price.
The Iomega Home Media Network Drive, a single-volume NAS server, is easy to set up and use for even the most novice user; however, its lack of advanced features might lessen its appeal to savvy users.
The Linksys WRT320N forces you to pick either the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz band for your wireless network. Given that, it's not an ideal choice for an environment with both types of wireless clients.
