Go Time Machine Go!

If you're a Mac OS X user who relies on Time Machine for backups, Go Time Machine Go is a Dashboard Widget that you won't want to miss. With just a click, this handy tool will initiate a Time Machine backup, and even try to mount your Time Machine volume if possible.

While Time Machine is an excellent backup feature in OS X Leopard, it can be a hassle for laptop users who have to remember to connect their Time Machine disk or mount their network share. With Go Time Machine Go, you can avoid that hassle altogether.

Assuming your Time Machine disk is already mounted in the Finder and the Time Machine icon appears in your Dock, you can right-click or control-click on the icon and select "Back Up Now" to start backing up immediately. Go Time Machine Go simply executes the Terminal command that activates Time Machine, making the process even simpler.

In addition, if your Time Machine volume is not already mounted, Go Time Machine Go will attempt to mount it first. If it cannot be mounted, you'll receive a Finder error message, but it's no big deal.

Overall, Go Time Machine Go is a reliable, convenient tool that can save time and hassle for Time Machine users.
