Chapter 9 Backing Up and Restoring Information 91
Using Time Machine with Bento
Time Machine is the Mac OS X application that backs up your computer on a regular
basis.
To use Time Machine to back up your Bento data, set the backup options so that Time
Machine backs up the user's Library folder. Then you can use Time Machine to restore
the Bento data from a specific backup date and time.
When you restore data from a Time Machine backup, you replace all of the data that is
in Bento with the contents of the backup file.
To set up the Time Machine options:
1 Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Time Machine.
2 In the Time Machine preferences, slide the switch to ON and choose a backup disk.
3 Click Options. Make sure that the user's Library folder is included in the list of items
that are backed up by Time Machine.
To restore Bento data using Time Machine:
1 (Optional) If you display Address Book and iCal application data in Bento, restore the
data from those applications’ backup files first. The Bento backup file does not
include data from those applications.
2 Open a Finder window to the user’s Library folder for Bento:
Library/Application Support/Bento/
3 Open Time Machine from the Dock or the Applications folder.
4 Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through
all the backups that Time Machine has created.
5 When you find the date for the data you want to restore, select the file bento.bentodb
and then click Restore.
The restored bento.bentodb file is copied to Library/Application Support/Bento/,
replacing all of the data that is in Bento.
6 Open Bento. Bento loads the contents of the restored bento.bentodb file.
