A week later she could buy a replacement laptop and clone the clone to it. She could immediately boot my MacPro from her laptop's clone and be back in business. Read up on either web site for the many potential benefits of a bootable backup, not the least being all files get copied.įor maximum security, I recommend using Apple Disk Utility to make periodic bootable clones.
#RESTORATION SOFTWARE FOR MAC UPDATE#
Doing one bootable backup a month and any time you make major changes means you have two different backups and don’t need to update your clone every night (unless you really like that sort of thing). I would say you should probably have a clone backup to save your bacon and start with SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner and not mess with disk utility (which can clone a drive) unless you really can’t make one of the purpose built tools to work for your budget and needs. Or you could review each time you place things and verify you can restore them (or inspect they are not excluded). You could review those and be safe knowing you’re set.
You can restore from a Time machine backup without or after installing an operating system. When the backup is completed, the hard drive will NOT be bootable, meaning that you can't run macOS from your Time machine backup. The backup includes docker files, npm packages, your personal files etc. It excludes log files, Spotlight indexes, caches, temporary files and trash (have a look: On OS X, what files are excluded by rule from a Time Machine backup?). Time Machine by default backs up nearly everything in your macOS partition.
