The tiny time saver for Apple's Time Machine™ application.
Quickly find old file versions in Time Machine™
With a little external hard drive, Apple's Time Machine application will save your bacon in the event of a hard disk failure. And if that external drive is big enough and configured it properly, you can also go back and resurrect work that you had trashed or overwritten weeks or months ago. But if you've ever done that, you know Apple didn't make it very convenient, especially if you want to, say, look at the history on one particular file. FileGoBack is so fast that we can show you everything it does, in 25 seconds
(This movie was made with version 1.0. The current version 1.1 is conveniently available as a System Service, so that the recommended method of launching it is now from the Services menu of applications like Finder, as shown below.

System Requirements
FileGoBack relies on technology in OS X Lion, and therefore requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later. Of course, you must be using Apple's Time Machine app, which requires an external hard drive.
