It seems really weird to me that with services their new “thing”, why they won’t allow me to back up my computer to iCloud. Not iCloud Drive, I mean a time machine backup in the cloud that I could restore an entire computer from with migration assistant.
Maybe they can’t figure out a way for it to be cost effective? It just seems word to me you can do this with your iphone but not a computer.
- votepaunchy 8y agomacOS apps’ local data is synchronized and can be versioned in iCloud containers. Plus Documents and Desktop are synchronized as legacy dumping grounds for files. Actual app installations are not backed up on either system, though iOS does reinstall on restore. It isn’t necessary to backup the entire drive.
