I strongly agree, while I'd rather run Linux, this is the reason I can't get off mac. I have restored backups at least 5 or 6 times over the years, including last week. Once, I had to jack around with wiping a fresh Catalina before the restore worked, because of APFS/HFS issues, which the restoration UI complained about. But it has always worked when I need it. Post-restore, I'm exactly back where I was. With hundreds of gigabytes of geospatial data, and a decade of software projects, I can't start from scratch without losing weeks of time.
