    Time Machine no longer working for me: replace with Carbon Copy Cloner or Chronosync or ?

    TLDR: I can no longer trust Time Machine and need a recommendation for a replacement that does the exact same thing; scheduled incremental backups of multiple volumes that keep as many older daily, weekly and monthly versions as the volume can hold, with automatic pruning, simple browsing of...

    High Sierra to Mojave and need to keep HFS+ format

    I need to migrate from a 2012 Mac Mini to a 2018 Mini. The OS on the 2012 is High Sierra. I need to move to Mojave on the new Mini and, because of some 32-bit legacy software, need to remain in Mojave. Also that legacy app won't write to an APFS formatted HD, so ideally want to wind up with...

    How to install Mojave on an HFS+ volume

I've got an early 2015 MacBook Air running Yosemite. I have not "upgraded" until now because of audio hardware and software compatibility issues. I'm...

    External HDD only mounts after 20 minutes of whirring, is it dying?

    I'm using a 2TB Samsung (Model: HD204UI) 3.5 inch hard drive in a Sharkoon QuickPort Duo USB 3 dock, and most of the time it works fine, it's fast, no problems. I use it to back up another external drive with a little app called Backup Buddy, so it's not the end of the world if it dies. I just...
