backup

Hello. I know there is a similar thread on this but didn't want to hijack it with my question! I'm in the process of buying an iMac Pro and was planning on using a Samsung T5 external SSD connected into one of the Thunderbolt 3 connections (USB type-C to type-C connection) as one of my backup...

Recently, I reset my iPhone (7, iOS 11.2.1) to factory settings, like I always do when the Documents & Data size starts getting crazy. As usual, I made a backup before reformatting my device. However, my backup disappeared. It is not on iTunes, or anywhere in my laptop. In case, for some reason...

Hello! I plan to upgrade my Mac Pro 5.1 to the new iMac Pro for photo and video editing. My main income is from landscape photography and I have around 3 TB of photos and video.

Hello Everyone, My Apple Mail export function is not responding, and I am not able to make out the reason why. I fact earlier too it used to consume a lot of time in order to backup the database and now it has gone shut. I am looking for an alternative that can backup my apple mail quickly in a...

Basically I'm fed up with High Sierra with what it's been doing to my iMac performance-wise and want to "downgrade" (to me it'd be an upgrade) to OS X Mavericks as its the earliest version my Mac supports. I'd like to know if I can restore a Time Machine backup made on High Sierra to Mavericks...

I have iTunes Movies, TV Series and Music of about 1-2 TB in total on my account, but not downloaded yet. Instead of streaming those data/files every time and relying on an sometimes spotty internet connection I'd like to to have those local (also as a backup). My iPhone obviously has less...

I am using the trial version of Carbon Copy Cloner to see if I want to buy it. Time Machine is a pain. How long does the first backup of my laptop (MacBook Air) take? I am using my Airport Time Capsule for my backup location. Any suggested tutorials for this app? Thanks for any help.

I had to switch iPhone 5S (Apple couldn't replace the battery) so I restored a password protected iTunes local backup. To my surprise, most of the apps still need to be downloaded from iCloud. Being on a metered internet connection, this really sucks! Is this expected behaviour? Is there a...

So I restored my X from the Cloud and while I lost everything from during the 6 hour or so Activation debacle, all else was good. Well except that I had no photos. I thought it was just taking forever, but it turns out my silly self turned off Photo sync a while back to save cloud space. I...

Just want to hear how you personally will be setting up your iPhone X. Will you be doing it from a backup of a previous iPhone, thus saving time, or will you set up your iPhone X as a new device? Vote in the poll and post a reply telling us why you made that choice.

Just bought a Synology DS918+ and so far not too impressed.... Main thing I bought it for is backup for my Thunderbay DAS (so I could schedule backups and not have to worry about manually backing up to various external drives with CCC. So I install Cloud Station Server on the NAS, create a...

I’m already using time machine for computer backups. What simple GUI-based software can I use to backup specific folders into zipped files on external drives? I tried SuperDuper but that doesn’t do it and other software seems loaded with full-backup features that I don’t need since I’m already...

I finally managed to downgrade from that atrocious os that is High Sierra back to Sierra on my late 2013 15" mbp. Unfortunately i had not made a time machine backup from when i was on Sierra, however i made one from High Sierra just incase and did a clean install of Sierra. However the problem...

I have a 10.5" 256gb wifi/cell iPad Pro. I do not recall that iPad backups were this slow before and I do not even have that much on my ipad (~110gb) yet. I think it takes ~3hrs but it does restore from a backup at a normal speed. I have seen the stuttering/loading threads but my ipad seems...
