Re: I miss the old Apple.
Time Machine is a great idea, but when it goes wrong - as it does from time to time - it is nigh on impossible to find out what has failed. The lack of feedback and error messages in what is a critical application is ridiculous; if a backup fails, you are told nothing about what happened and how to fix it.
I understand that Apple likes minimalism and doesn't want to bombard users with unnecessary information, but we're not psychic.
