Great video. Another approach that expands on the "back up to a remote, shared folder, blessed for Time Machine, that resides on a networked Mac " is to share a externally connected Time Machine drive and share and bless it for TM. As long as you don't have your Time Machine backups encrypted (argh-few hours of head-scratching on that one), the remote Mac-connected Time Machine drive will be available anywhere on your network. Brilliant!

@JB12132 5 ай бұрын

Hi Bill I hope you don't mind me asking, when the disk is full will Time Machine warn you to allow you not to lose any files that are old that it would otherwise basically start to disgard to make space? Not one video on KZfaq it seems to cover this very important point. Last year I lost a file as it was the oldest folder on my back up, seems Time Machine didn't take into account it was the only version as in the oldest and the newest of that project. I keep an eye out manually to see how kuch space is left on the back up disc to avoid it happening again. Thanks.

@tanyameronk7268 3 ай бұрын

@@JB12132 ⁠A legit concern and one that comes up with my clients a lot. You’re right, Time Machine will not give you a warning before it deletes older versions of backups to make space for new backups. It only stores as many backups as it can fit on that hard-drive. My rule of thumb? Use a Time Machine (TM for short) hard drive that is twice the size of your Mac’s internal hard-drive capacity. And depending on if you’re adding GBs to your Mac regularly, you may even want to triple or quadruple the size of your Time Machine hard-drive to allow for more backups. You can kind of calculate how much data you’re using each week or month to figure out how big of a TM hard drive you need. Look at your Mac’s available storage capacity. You can find this by clicking the Apple 🍏 in the upper left corner of the screen then About This Mac > Storage. If you’re running Ventura or later, select System Settings > search storage. Note how much storage max capacity you have and how much is AVAILABLE. Check again in a week or two. That’ll give you an idea of your data “burn rate” and how much extra space you need on Time Machine to cover backups. 🎉 For example, if you noted you are currently using 250GB out of 500GB, then you check again in a week and it’s 260GB out of 500GB. That’s a 10GB increase in 1 week. Say your TM is 1TB or 1000GB - you’d have 740GB of space available for backups. At a burn rate of 10GB per week that’s 74 weeks of backups, give or take depending if you add more, less or delete stuff. You can also use 2 hard-drives in Time Machine that will alternate backups by adding another backup disk. All possible options so you don’t have to keep checking manually 😊 I hope that answered your question! 🧡

Nice Clear instructions, lots of things I didn't know - thanks :). However, I don't trust wireless backups. Back when Time Capsules were new I had my time machine go corrupt after about 3 months, I gave up after this happened 3 times. Not long after I got myself a Synology NAS I set this up for Time Machine and this also corrupted after about 3 months. So I now plug a USB 2TB hard drive into my MacBook Pro and use that so far no problems after over many years.

Great video. Very thorough. Please also mention that TimeMachine backups are sometimes prone to corrupting, especially if you need to restore a whole computer from backup, so use a good drive, and if able multiple backup locations.

@Learnwithjoel Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback @Eric Chang! I agree that you should always have more than one backup and try and follow the 3-2-1 backup strategy. Carbon Copy or ChronoSync are great alternatives to Time Machine! I think the software experience of Time Machine can be pretty clunky, but if you know where your files are at, you can always drill down to the file location via the Finder.

If you buy a hard drive with more space then you need for a backup you can partition the hard drive and format that partition to a Mac and the other partition to ms-dos or xfat to be used on windows. Im sure you know this but not sure if you have a video on that for others to know. Thank you your videos are verry helpful.

I am an 80-year-old retired ost-production manager/localization producer who has used Macs since TV productions changed from analog to digital workflows (1922). I took training in Avid and Protools but never in OS operation. I just learned by doing so, but I have been frustrated with Time Machine, especially with moving backups to new Macs. In 24:19, I've learned more about Time Machine operation/ Foile Sharing/ Restoration than in 32 years of fumbling around with OS from 9 through 12. That is why I've subscribed to you on KZfaq. My only complaint is that I have to view your tutorials on one machine and stop often to recreate your instructions on another machine on another Mac. I guess I am a slow learner these days. Reply

My wife is about to order a new MacBook and I want to get her an external drive for Time Machine. The new (7/2022) small SSD drives like the one shown in the video are very appealing. I have a question about them. Some of the information I have read discusses overheating issues. Have you, or anyone reading this, experienced these problems? Thanks for any help and thanks again for the great videos.

Brilliant video, thank you for the priceless info! I have been having some trouble downloading my TimeMachine backups to my new SSD. The message I received on my last attempt was "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “Photo Library Migration Utility” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)". It would be awesome if you could advise me how I get passed this. I've also tried to simply restore from the old drive via Disk Utility but also ran into problems, apparently the new drive isn't in the right format, even though they are exactly the same (both Mac journaled and GUID partition). Also my new SSD is 1TB where as my old HDD is 2TB. I'm only using around 800GB but am unsure if the new drive needs to not only have enough space, but at least match the storage size of the drive being restored from? I hope this all made sense and eagerly await a reply from anyone who can help.

Been a TM user since 2007 or so. The major issue with it is that it is not cloud-friendly. Therefore, it’s not straightforward to implement a true 3-2-1 backup strategy without using multiple solutions. So, I use TM to backup to both an external drive and a local NAS, and I use another solution to move important content to the cloud. It’s not as elegant as I would like, but it works.

@Learnwithjoel 2 жыл бұрын

Great points @1_lens_view! I would say it's hard to use a tool like Time Machine that was originally designed to backup local devices like the Mac. As far as backing up cloud content, I think it's tricky. Often with new features like "file on demand" It's hard to backup files to a local hard drive, when the cloud files are designed to be offloaded to the cloud and not be stored on the computer. So you're totally right. To have the full true 3-2-1 strategy, it requires multiple options. Thanks for the insight and thanks so much for watching!

Greatest KZfaqr in the world love ❤️ you Joel!!! Also quick question I just want to back up once a month is that ok? Do I have to delete the previous backup or will it override it

@Learnwithjoel 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much @Jennifer! I truly appreciate that! As far as backing up once a month, I would say it all depends on your comfort level of wanting the most recent content backed up, in addition to your computer use. If you are a college student who is typing a ton of papers and you are using the computer all day every day for projects and important information, then I would probably say a month is too long. But if you're not doing much or creating things that you would be ok to lose if something were to happen, then a month is good. There's no one size fits all. You're doing good already by having a backup in general. Also you do not have to delete the previous backups. Time Machine is designed to recognize only the changes and save that information so it doesn't attempt to backup up something that's already been backed up. I hope that helps!

Time Machine is all fine and dandy but although we are promised that old back-up files will be overwritten, it does not do that. It is a common problem for many judging from accounts I come across when googling for a solution. At one point we get the message ‘not enough space on Back-up disk’. Great! The upshot is that eventually I have to wipe my back-up disk and start all over again. And THAT is a real pain.
