Data is an Asset. We store our precious memories in the form of photos & videos of times, places, and people—that can’t be relieved or recreated again—on our Mac and iOS devices.
Other important data such as Office documents, PowerPoint presentations, Emails, and Messages are stored safely on our Mac storage drive, and we use this data in our daily life. Therefore, backing up such critical data ‘frequently’ is of utmost importance.
Time Machine in macOS
Time Machine is indeed one of the best free backup utility available for macOS and using it for backup is a no-brainer. The utility not only lets you restore your macOS in case of system crash or malware & virus infection but also allows you to recover individual files & folders when you accidentally delete them.
Additionally, you can go back in time to see how a file looked like and retrieve the content of the file a few hours or weeks earlier.
It’s an easy-to-use backup utility that comes pre-installed with OS X 10.5 and later.
It works with any hard disk or SSD connected to a Mac via USB, FireWire, or Thunderbolt. You may also choose internal storage for the backup and exclude files and folders that you don’t want to backup via Time Machine’s ‘Preferences’.
With just a few clicks, Mac users can set up a backup using Time Machine. As a result, a large number of Mac users now actively uses Time Machine to back up their macOS data.
Once the Time Machine backup is set up, it automatically takes scheduled backups, normally every 24hrs, in the background without affecting the system performance. You can also enable or disable hourly backups and use it to restore your Mac in the event of system crash or accidental file deletion.
However, one backup is not always enough because hard drives—storing Time Machine backups or running your macOS—can fail at any point in time without prior warning. Also, there are people who never used Time Machine or don’t use it for regular backups.
For all those situations where either backup isn’t available or hard drive containing Time Machine backup or your other important data has gone bad, Mac File Recovery tool can be used.
