My favorite part of macos x was always time machine, a built in backup system that, under the hood worked with symlinks and disk images so you can actually read data out of the backups yourself

This remains the case for my local network backups, and I'm copying gigabytes of crap off my old work MacBook's backup onto my new machine now.

@brooke fun fact, it uses hard links (iirc) on network backups.
Network backups are also like, weird, as it's basically a disk image that it writes instead of just files. (A disk image that's actually a folder of much smaller files comprising it's data, concatenated together)
