I mean, I get that Microsoft is trying to compete with MacOS and its Time Machine software, but why not just start from there and add the other bits as optional to the user? lol

Time Machine is just backup software isn't it? It's not doing an involuntary index of all your activity and content you interact with, right?

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Yes, as far as I know it just backs up the system and user files.
