Best Answer

Time Machine is software that will automatically back up and catalogue everything on your Mac's hard disc. You can then use Time Machine to find copies of files, from the back up disc, that may have been deleted, lost or damaged. Time machine requires an external drive to back up to and needs to be switched on from the Time Machine section of System Preferences.
