Re: backups I had an experience where I attempted to install a new Mac from a Time Machine backup and my Mac couldn't see anything on the Time Machine backup. Called Apple support and found out about a rare bug where the install process can sometimes initialize the Time Machine backup instead of installing from the backup. Luckily I had backblaze set up but it took a loooong time to get a few hundred gig restored. Now I have Time Machine, BackBlaze and iCloud backups. Every now and then I dump everything to a .tgz on S3
