Need some advice on a simple NAS solution. My wife has been backing up her MacBook to an Apple #timecapsule which is now old and creaky. Want some simple solution, don’t need a huge amount of space and want simple setup for #timemachine . Replacing the WiFi functions is a different can of worms. #NAS #networkstorage #apple

Da ist mir doch gerade eingefallen, dass ich in meiner Breakout-Box (diverse Anschlüsse via Thunderbolt) noch eine 2TB M2 SSD schlummern habe und kein Backup-Laufwerk mehr besitze.

Schnell mal die Platte umpartitioniert und 512 GB frei geschaufelt. Dann die Platte als Time Machine Backup Platte deklariert und nun sichert mir mein Mac alles brav weg. (1/2)

Yesterday in the post below, I asked about backup software for MacOS and most people mentioned/recommended Time Machine.

https://infosec.exchange/@cliffwade/114756885797236743

I sat that up, but then quickly realized that I can't use the drive for much else, and I'm not wasting a 2TB drive on 150GB of backups, so I disabled Time Machine.

Thanks to @dhry and @amerpie I've now decided to go with SmartBackup, as that seems to allow me to backup to my 2TB drive and still use that drive for other stuff just like normal. So I think this is method I will stick with, at least for now.

MacOS users...

What backup software do you use on your MacOS devices?

I don't need anything fancy, just something in case something happens at some point.

Is Time Machine good and/or recommended? Is there something different or better that y'all recommend?

Does macOS 26 Tahoe fix the Time Machine bug that causes full backups to be done all the time rather than incremental backups? #Apple #macOS #Tahoe #TimeMachine

If I had a #timemachine?

Definitely going back to the 1600s and starting an #orchestra that specializes in playing #music #compositions at 1.2x speed

This week I couldn't find a folder with years of work and data from scholars all over the world.

It wasn't on my laptop?!
It wasn't in the cloud?!

Thank heavens for #TimeMachine #databackup!

Today I made the #OSF project.

Let my #projectMgmt fail be your reminder.

Some recent Kpop and Kpop adjacent releases have grated on me so much that I have found it necessary to reach back into the Kpop past for relief:

Girls' Generation -- Time Machine

I used to see this once or twice a month with my daily scheduled backup, and it would go away on its own the next day if I didn't poke it. I now see it every single day, and I have to back up manually. I think it may have to do with the most recent OS updates. Any other #macOS users having a problem with #TimeMachine ? I also use https://tclementdev.com/timemachineeditor/ to set the daily schedule.

   
#TimeTravelTuesday #ThoughtExperiment: Many #Worldlets?

or in other words, fractions of #World, not the whole World. #TimeTraveler #theories often involve splitting or multiplying #universes. Time Travel events divide #spacetime into two near-identical clones. Grandfather lived or did not, you did not meet yourself or you did. But if we think this through further, its scope might not be quite so universal as typically presented.

Take 3 heavenly bodies: Mother #Earth, the #AlphaCentauri triple star system (at 4+ light years away), and #Polaris, the #NorthStar (at 400+ light years away).

Now we program our #TimeMachine to take us back one year (#retrograde) where we meet ourselves. Hi selves! This all takes place in one year. There's the original us, there's us leaving the present, and there's us meeting our past/original selves a year earlier — standard #boilerplate #scifi #movie #script.

Alpha Centauri will have to wait another 3 years before any of this information can get to there. This is related to the concept of a #lightcone which expands at the speed of light. This doesn't sound quite so much like birthing a twin universe, does it? Now what about the North Star? It will have to wait 433 years for news of our Time Travel event(s). And that's still pretty much in our tiny #celestial neighborhood.

The point is that the effects of such events are largely localized and rapidly diluted as we move farther away. This still has its paradoxical problems, but it doesn't quite feel like the whole universe dividing into two — maybe part of it (a universelet? a subuniverse?) Possibilities are that in moving further out in space-time, the effects of a Time Travel incident may be 'blurred out', as are anomalous numerical samples in the law of large #numbers. If one pours a cup of coffee into a lake, it doesn't change the color of the lake. There is a brief chaotic #glitch before it is no longer measurable.

It is tempting to imagine space-time as "stitching" itself back together. (Glitch & stitch?) Such speculations are related to #StephenHawking's "chronology protection conjecture" of 1992. And along with #blackholes, #entanglement, and other #quantum phenomena, if Time Travel is possible, then we should be looking for it at every scale. We could be surrounded by time-traveling particles everywhere all the #Time.

Time Machine created with LEGO pieces by journalist Rafael Ángel Fernández Gutiérrez.

LEGO MOC loosely inspired by the Time Machine model featured in the 1960 film of the same name (The Time Machine).

Hey smart #Mac people: Is there a way to tell #TimeMachine to not backup every hour while sleeping? Seems a bit aggressive. Every 6 or 12 hours seems more reasonable for my needs

I restored some files using macOS Paranoia's Time Machine. Worked great. But then Apple decided I wasn't allowed to do anything to any of my files anymore. Couldn't rename them, delete them, open them, nothing. Restarting the Finder didn't help. Rebooting did.

macOS Paranoia's Time Machine: "I can't backup this file that I've always backed up before but I won't tell you why. Instead I'll just stop the whole backup because my developers were too lazy to write error handling code."
