ā¦and if you are backing up your computer, are you sure your backup works?!
My Mac Mini crashed on Groundhogās Day. Likeā¦ really bad! Over the past three days, a lot of time was devoted to recovering lost data. You can read about it hereā¦
My SSD failed and my Time Machine backup didnāt work as expected. It was very tedious, but I managed to get my computer back to normal. I learned some lessons during this crashā¦
I miss Snow Leopard. Heh, this version of Mac OS X seems newer than Sierra.
SSDs are scary! Sure, theyāre fast. But when they break, they can break suddenly.
If youāre pushing your old Mac, while waiting for a new Mac, some preventative maintenance might help you get to your goal. (If I couldnāt recover my Mac Mini, I might be buying an expensive MacBook Pro right now.)
Check your backup! Time Machine is great. But it didnāt work as expected. Running Disk Utilities might be a good idea. Multiple backups might be a good idea too.
Hey @jonathan ā Maybe Hype should have iCloud support. It could be a good replacement for Dropbox.
I have my OS and User folder + programs on an internal SSD and everything else on different disks, external and internal.
Since external SSDās are pretty cheap I bought 3 of them and filled 2 of them with CarbonCopy clones of my current OS and user folder + programs. On top of that do I run TimeMachine.
Not sure what else to do but keep my fingers crossed.
The backup online is the right solution, the cost is affordable and it is less than a new disk every two years ( we are talking about a backup only, not sync).
After a couple of months in upload you are safe. You can access to your data from a phone too, very useful and easy to use. As I said, "the peace in mind"
