    Looking for reliable 3rd party Backup software

    Im on a M1 iMac using TimeMachine, but I also have external discs that I need backed up to my NAS regularly. I need incremental backups, that's why CCC is no recommendation as it has no real incremental backups. For the last year I used Acronis software, only with the release of OSX15 they show...

    Periphery Advice and Maybe Commiseration...

    Hi forum! So my 27" iMac 5K died and after a very long and frustrating slog through my local reseller's AppleCare+ repair process, Apple is replacing it with a new M3 iMac. Although I had 1 TB storage in the 27" and asked if I could order the new iMac with the additional and was told outright...

    I have a music library of 300 CDs all backed up to time machine. It has taken me over a decade to build it up. My MBP died so I tried to restore onto my new MBP but shock horror I have started to get the dreaded clicking off the HDD. Assuming a few spells in the freezer don't help to stop the...

    What to use as an Archive unit (of hdds) to the Raid unit :)

    Hi there! I work in photo / video field... I used to send files to my external WDs and then backing that up on other WDs = yes I have a lot of WDs lying around... 2 years ago I switched onto OWC thunderbay 8, which works in RAID with Softraid softeware by OWC. Works beautifully. BUT, the fear...

    Copy 2tb Backup (Sparbundle) from Time Capsule to ext SSD

    Mother board dead. Worst nightmare. I have been doing regular backups on my (old) Time Capsule. There's a quite recent file there 1.9TB with extension .sparbundle. Tried to restore the backup with Time Machine, but after a while it fails. I thought, maybe the hard drive of Time Capsule runs too...

    Polar Backup Reneging on Lifetime backup deals

    Hi, anyone else affected by Polar Backup effectively cancelling its lifetime deals? Apparently, a lifetime is only 3 years these days. Thank God I'm still around. I'm still trying to get my head around how a firm can sell a lifetime offer and then only three years later demand a new monthly...

    I have a iMac, iPhone, iPad and buy 2Tb iCloud as my Photo library is around 1Tb, and so need this space with iPhone backups for family, iPad etc. I also currently have another cloud backup service on my Mac that basically backups up my Mac. I only really use it for safety for my Photo...

    TimeMachine - Lets try to cleanup

    I noticed that Apple has not updated the exclusion list for a long time, which now appears outdated (based on the current structure of the operating system) Try to compare the latest backups, you will notice that a myriad of short or very short-lived files are saved. Perhaps only useful for...

    Missing Subtasks in Reminders: Seeking Solutions

    Upon noticing the absence of subtasks in several of my Reminders sublists recently, I observed that this issue seemed arbitrary, occurring alongside fully intact sublists. Since these are recurring reminders, I typically only review them when prompted, making it challenging to pinpoint when the...

    Keychain Backup Not Loading

    Macbook Pro mid-2012 I'm using a Western Digital Elements 2TB external hard drive as my main drive for the time being. So far so good, surprisingly speedy for a hard drive. The only hitch is I haven't been able to get my Time Machine keychain backup added. I go to the library of my backup hard...

    Only last backup of iphone available

    Good morning, it looks like everytime I do a backup of the iPhone on my macStudio (12.7), it overwrites previous ones. I.e. I can only recuperate from the last backup, the list is empty. Any idea how to keep older backups?

    Backup from one Time Capsual to a second Time Capsula - is that possible?

    Hello, I would like to regularly back up the data from a Time Capsule to a second Time Capsule. You can save the data on a plugged-in USB disk, but there are hardly any other options, or is that hidden somewhere?

    Best external HD for Time Machine.

    My Seagate OneTouch SSD 2TB just stopped working (I've been using it with Time Machine for the last 2.5 years) and whenever I plug it into my mac, the whole finder app stops responding. Nothing in disk utility appears, either. Immediately as soon as I unplug it, everything goes back to normal...

    Hello I have the following dilemma. At the moment I have a 4K tv always hooked up with my Macbook M1 to watch movies and series I've downloaded.

    Can an old rMBP talk to a brand new Macbook?

    Hello. I am still using a 2013 rMBP. It works pretty well, except its original battery is dying. Time for an upgrade. I'll get a MBA15 or MBP M3 or something. Doesn't really matter...they'll be stupidly fast and more capable than what I have now. Say the new laptop arrives. Can I create a...
