![]() It works so well that Apple has made very few changes to Time Machine since it first appeared. ![]() It has been part of macOS since Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and it really revolutionized both backing up computers and restoring files.Īpple designed Time Machine to be as easy as possible to use so that everyone would do backups. Time Machine is the Mac’s built-in backup mechanism. We know how costly it can be to recreate data that’s been lost, so we remind Rocket Yard readers frequently of the importance of making regular backups. They’re packed with music, photos, videos, contacts, calendars, and even game status and scores. Likewise, backups of your mobile devices (iPhone and iPad) are critical as well, since there is so much personal information on them. If your Mac hard drive fails and you don’t have some sort of backup, you’ll lose everything on that computer. A backup is a copy of files on your main device. Perhaps you’ve never backed up a device and don’t even know what we’re talking about. We’re here to fix that! Today, we’ll talk about the backup application built into macOS: Time Machine. Particularly if you’re new to the Mac, iPhone or iPad, you may not know how to back up your device. Instead, you’ll get great advice on how to back up your Apple devices. Fortunately, you won’t be getting partridges in pear trees or seven swans a-swimming from us. Merry Christmas! Today we begin a new 12-day series called The Twelve Days of Backups.
