Wow, terrifying. This is kinda similar to why I use SuperDuper to image my Mac, instead of trusting Time Machine. I do love Apple, but there's a few wrinkles

Wow, terrifying.
This is kinda similar to why I use SuperDuper to image my Mac, instead of trusting Time Machine.
I do love Apple, but there's a few wrinkles sometimes.
- cloudwalking 11y agoI have never successfully restored a computer from Time Machine backup. The operation always fails.
- hughw 11y agoI've successfully restored several times, most recently last week. TM is a lifesaver.
- feld 11y agoevery restore I've done has worked successfully
- veidr 11y agoMe too! I have never used it for my own backups, but at least 6-7 times a family member (for whom I am de facto emergency tech support) has called me with a borked Mac and a Time Machine backup. In every single instance the restore operation has failed. (Most common failure mode is to like appear to be working for hours/overnight, then say something helpful like "Unable to restore Time Machine backup"). Backup is the very last thing I would trust Apple to do.
