My main TimeMachine backup (for my and my wife's MBPs) is over SMB to ZFS (RAIDZ2) on my NAS.

The network disk is convenient which is good for having periodic backups and quick access but from time to time this setup is liable to Time Machine corrupting itself in a way it doesn’t know how to fix.) (By the way, if you’re using Time Machine to a network share, I recommend keeping another “worst case” backup that you refresh periodically. It’s pricey but believe me, this is the setup you want. My network has an old MacBook Pro (one of the last pre-Touch Bar ones) wired into the backbone for this. So the move here is really to just get a Mac to handle this. Not to the point where you’d want to rely on them for backups, anyways.

Unfortunately, APFS drivers for Linux kinda sorta don’t exist. So, I wouldn’t recommend making them anymore. I get the feeling that macOS might at some point stop supporting new HFS+ backups altogether. They are far faster and more reliable than HFS+ disks. Today, if you’re using Time Machine, you should back up to an APFS volume with snapshots. Ok so like this seems to have been written today but I think it’s notable that the Mac they showed in the post is running a five year old version of macOS: I don’t actually think this is a good idea anymore, and I say this as someone who ran a Raspberry Pi in a similar configuration for a while. I meant when they’re forced to open up their platform, because they’re not going to do it themselves! or relies on something like iCloud for something like “data backup and integrity” in anyway.Ĭan’t wait for the day when file access is easier on iOS (of course aft explicit permissions - which is the case even today actually) etc, or Android sucks less - in this glorious duopoly. but I use Time Machine (or any XYZ Apple thing that involves data integrity and reliability) - it works, or is “good enough” You literally feel like a hostage - you can use it with such stonewalling and infuriating limits and you start feeling this is the only way!Īt this point I don’t think it’s anything other than self sabotage if anyone still says

He would smile and say - give it time, you’ll understand.Īnd I understand now how helplessly hostile the Apple ecosystem is. We used to think he was some GNU/FOSS nut.

Sometimes you feel maybe it’s Apple paying you to use their products and not the other way round.Īn ex manager was thought to be crazy by us freshers when he would say that the moment he gets a Mac, for personal or work usage, the first thing he does is install Linux on that. Naming and shaming them on social media doesn't work.

My favourite is when Apple Support asks you to reinstall or reset the iOS or reinstall macOS entirely even if something as tiny as some sync problem occurs, with such confidence and matter of fact tone that you are forced to debate whether you are talking to some kafkasque and sadist bot. ICloud? The only answer you’re ever going to get anywhere is - “No, your data is getting synced”. > Time Machine uses the "fuck you user" approachĪpply to every piece of software or service out there by Apple. There is going to be no support and the forums are not going to help. And it won't tell you that a backup is broken until you try to restore from it. Time Machine works fine until it doesn't.
