    Time Machine not backing up all files??

    I am running 10.9.5 on this iMac 27" so that I can keep running my old Photoshop and Illustrator fully paid version and not pay Adobe every month for the rest of my life. I had piece of mind that all my files were getting backed up on the time machine. But today, for the first time I made...

    How risky to update Big Sur > Monterey without a full backup?

    We are having consistent problems with Macs / Time Machine not backing up to Synology NAS devices. So, local data has to be backed up manually which means getting some, very likely missing some and not getting any settings. My 2020 13" MacBook Pro is suffering from the 'reboot with every sleep'...

    A bug triggered by OneDrive might prevent you from restoring Time Machine backups

    The new OneDrive that builds on the macOS FileProvider API (which was forced by Apple deprecating kext) might cause an issue that prevents user from restoring Time Machine backups.

    Hi guys, long time lurker here. Just received my new MBP several days ago, and have been trying (unsuccessfully) to have Time Machine create local snapshots without an external SSD so that things don't get lost before I get my hands on these.

    Time Machine on USB C flash drive

    With the 24" iMac, as you know, only USB C and Thunderbolt ports are available. To help with cable management (besides using velcro or command strips), I was thinking to merely use a USB C flash drive (thumb drive) for Time Machine backups. Curious, any downsides to using a flash drive/thumb...

    Restoring a deleted Mail folder using Time Machine

    I am using Mac Mail to access email on AOL Mail. I recently logged in to AOL Mail directly on the web and in a momentary lapse of judgment deleted the contents of the Sent folder.

    Change in Time Machine progress reporting in Monterey?

    This is not how Time Machine has reported its progress for as long as I can remember. Is this new? I think I remember there being an estimate of how much total data was being copied, with no percentage of progress.

    Time Machine backups to NAS fail with "Failed to eject" and "Resource busy"

    Back in 2020 I had already opened a thread about problems backing up to an SMB share on my NAS; it was so slow it would never catch up with all the snapshots my system creates every hour. I had been able to solve this by blacklisting all those many small files that don't really need to be...
