use Time Machine with the external SSD? or just back up by dragging all your files and data onto the external SSD hard drive?
Let's be honest here, if you screw up your MacOS (system) the best thing to do is just to follow the instructions in the recovery menu and it'll repair itself. I mean, it'll download the entire OS iso from there (it will take forever), mount it and run it, guiding you through the reinstallation process. I'm not an Apple fanboy but I gotta admit the MacOS is pretty smart at times. You can do that with a bootable media. However, you'll have to take care of some side stuff that will get in the way. Thus, I personally see no point in backup up the system, just the files. So use Time Machine to back up the files only
This....always use Time Machine. Don't even bother trying other things or to be smarter than the Apple engineers...you're not smarter than them
the "Team of engineers" argument doesn't really hold up if you think about it for 5 minutes
I can assure you that Apple Time Machine was not written by one guy in his shed
But what does Time Machine really have to do with the external SSD(by just dragging those files and data onto the external SSD)?
so was Facebook but it managed to break anyway
What makes me so inquisitive about using Time Machine is that how does basically Time Machine automatically back up your Mac’s files and data every single day when your external SSD is NOT plugged into your computer all the time?
It backs up locally and syncs to the external when it's connected
I mean you’re not gonna plug your external SSD plugged into your comptuer all the time, are you?
Then how about those time in the gap(when your external SSD is not plugged) where new files and data created by your activity and for some reason you physically dropped your computer and gets beyond recovery?
Oh my, it's almost as if people at big companies don't create crappy software on a regular basis!
Is ExFAT formatting the only way to use on both MacOS and Linux?
