> Also, I would argue that Time Machine gets little to no love because it's nearly feature complete. It's dead simple to use, does what it says on the tin, and stays out of the way to the point I forget about it most of the time. Is there anything in particular that you feel that Time Machine is missing? I almost completely agree with this, but do like the scheduling features of the free third-party "TimeMachineEditor" tool, which lets you control the backup intervals, windows, and set an exclusion window. Otherwise, TM has been pretty flawless for me. |

Time Machine allows verification of backups when writing to a network share. When you write to an internal or external drive, you can’t verify your backup.
Any corruption to your backup over time can’t be detected so you can’t really trust that the backup is going to work when you need it.
On one hand, sure, there’s no way to verify historical file changes as the old versions are no longer on the current disk, but I should at least be able to verify that the current snapshot matches my current file system.
